In einer Relaxed Performance lesen die Autor:innen Simoné Goldschmidt-Lechner, Selma Kay Matter und Mirjam Wittig aus neuen Texten. Aus ihren drei Positionen (ABC) ergibt sich ein Dreieck. Das triangle of exhaustion wird stabil gehalten durch die endlose Anstrengung, Erschöpfung, Wiederholung. Punkt A spricht von der Anstrengung, sich verständlich zu machen in einem Raum, der nicht sicher ist. Punkt B spricht von Überanstrengung als Alltagserfahrung eines chronisch kranken Körpers. Punkt C spricht von der Erschöpfung eines zerstörten Bodens und der Anstrengung, ihn wiederherzustellen. In welchem Verhältnis stehen die drei Positionen zueinander? Welche Wechselwirkungen gehen sie ein? How can we get some rest?

Rafia Zakaria's latest book of essays Against White Feminism bills itself as a counter-manifesto to "white feminism's global, long-standing affinity with colonial, patriarchal, and white supremacist ideals".

On this episode of en(gender)ed, guest host Roman James interviews feminist lawyer, human rights activist, political philosopher, columnist and author, Rafia Zakaria about her newly released book, Against White Feminism, Notes on Disruption.  Roman speaks with Rafia about the historic domination of the feminist lexicon by upper middle-class white women, the de-centering of Black and Brown voices, and the role that patriarchy plays in perpetuating white supremacist, capitalist, imperialist feminism which often subjugates the very populations it asserts to be empowering. Roman James is mama to the most wonderful, generous, and intelligent light being she ever met. Additionally, she serves as an activist and resistor of the violence imposed on women and children in the archaic American family court system having been radicalized by the institutional betrayal of the legal system. Her purpose is to thrive in her self-possession, rise above the systemic failures and leave everyone she comes in contact with better off for having met her.    During our conversation, Roman and Rafia referenced the following resources: Rafia's journey to becoming a feminist. Rafia's perspective on women being tasked to be disrupters. 1893 World's Fair's showcase of the “White City” and the exclusion of Black people and communities The controversy behind ESPN reporter Maria Taylor and Rachel Nicols The double standard and racism behind “culturally-coded crimes” --- Thanks for tuning in to the en(gender)ed podcast!

We're excited to share our great conversation with Rafia Zakaria on her latest book, AGAINST WHITE FEMINISM.   Rafia Zakaria is an attorney, political philosopher, the author of The Upstairs Wife: An Intimate History of Pakistan, Veil, and most recently Against White Feminism.  She also authored many essays for the Guardian, CNN, and the New York Times Book Review.  She is a regular columnist for Dawn in Pakistan and the Baffler in the United States. You can also find her on Substack.   AGAINST WHITE FEMINISM provides historical and contemporary evidence as to the destructive, problematic nature of white feminism and why we need to disrupt and dismantle it.  Per Zakaria, a white feminist is someone who refuses to consider the role that whiteness and racial privilege have played and continue to play in universalizing white feminist concerns, agendas, and beliefs  as being those of all feminism and all of feminists.   Rafia Zakaria is one of the many authors from around the world participating in Miami Book Fair 2021, the nation's largest gathering of writers and readers of all ages. She is so looking forward to sharing her work, thoughts and new ideas with everyone, in person and on line.

This week Cal and I discuss the downfalls of "white feminism" and how this is letting women down. We discuss how we can participate in feminism in an intersectional way and keep driving the movement forward so no one is getting left behind. Plus, did you know that labiaplasty is fastest rising cosmetic surgery worldwide? Many people with vaginas are getting them nipped and tucked and we what to know WHY? In a poll of more than 3,600 readers, the online women's magazine Refinery29 found that almost half (48%) had concerns about the appearance of their vulva. Of those, 64% were worried about the size and 60% about the shape of their vulva, with almost one-third (30%) worried about the colour of their genitals. And I think it comes down to thinking that our vulva isn't "normal" well, before you make that assumption, have a look at these vulva positive influencers who can educate you on what "normal" actually looks like... Check out Ying Lee (@sativaplath69), who posts about their “phat coochie” and got an incredible 6.4m views for their video on “gatekeeping phat coochie culture” and you may also want to have a look at gynaecologists Jennifer Lincoln (@drjenniferlincoln) and Jen Gunter (@drjengunter) - the author of The Vagina Bible – who make videos explain the vast spectrum of what is normal. Cal let's rip another glorious rant and this one will hit you hard and we end with a confession from Izzy who is a self-described pervert...uh oh...lot's to discuss! Resources: The book Cal refer to is Against White Feminism by Rafia Zakaria. And if you loved that then have a listen to Koa Beck chatting about the racism imbedded in white feminism.

Rafia Zakaria's controversial Against White Feminism challenges the status of icons like Simone de Beauvoir, Betty Friedan, and Eve Ensler.

Feminism means different things to different people. If you listened to our episode earlier this year, Feminism for the 99 percent, we took a deep dive into this, unpacking how women's issues intersect with class and race, what trickle-down feminism is, who's included and precluded from certain forms of mainstream, American feminism, and why it's important for feminism to be truly intersectional and inclusive. In this Conversation, we take a deep dive into how the ideology of whiteness permeates mainstream, Western feminism, and how those on the peripheries are often left out — and even exploited by — feminism and certain feminists. Rafia Zakaria is a columnist for Dawn in Pakistan and author, most recently, of Against White Feminism: Notes on Disruption, published by Norton and Company. Against White Feminism has made quite a splash since its publication in August, with a lot of positive reception, but also drawing the ire of many of those who it seeks to critique — namely, a certain cadre of feminists, often upper-middle class and white, who hold onto their very specific ideas about what feminism is, what it's not, and perhaps most importantly — who gets to define it. We explore how a certain liberal form of white-supremacy permeates much of mainstream feminism, how the white feminist savior complex and imperial feminism have been deployed throughout history — and well into our present times, such as in Afghanistan — to marginalize women of color and impose the “correct” form of feminism in non-consensual and harmful ways, what trickle-down or #girlboss feminism are, and more.

Upper-middle-class white women have long been heralded as “experts” on feminism. They have presided over multinational feminist organizations and written much of what we consider the feminist canon, espousing sexual liberation and satisfaction, LGBTQ inclusion, and racial solidarity, all while branding the language of the movement itself in whiteness and speaking over Black and Brown women in an effort to uphold privilege and perceived cultural superiority. An American Muslim woman, attorney, and political philosopher, Rafia Zakaria champions a reconstruction of feminism in Against White Feminism, centering women of color in this transformative overview and counter-manifesto to white feminism's global, long-standing affinity with colonial, patriarchal, and white supremacist ideals. _______________________________________________   Produced by Maddie Gobbo, Lance Morgan, & Michael Kowaleski.

Thanks to Covid, coughing in public has joined the ranks of socially-unacceptable behaviours. Anecdotally there seems to have been a decline in coughing in theatre audiences since Covid came on the scene. This suggests that loud, irritating throat clearances may not have been necessary physical responses to obstructions after all. Emma talks to Dr Kim Dienes from Swansea University about the social side of coughing and tips for suppressing that irritating tickle. Pakistani-American author Rafia Zakaria has written a new book called Against White Feminism. A critique of 'whiteness within feminism' she says feminism has become a brand, not a movement. She wants to 'take it back.' Working on behalf of domestic violence victims as a lawyer and human rights activist for years, she says race is the biggest obstacle to true solidarity among women. Rafia joins Emma to discuss. It is understood that the first female Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Cressida Dick, has been offered two more years in the role. Both the home secretary, Priti Patel, and the London mayor, Sadiq Khan, are said to support plans for her to continue to lead London's police force. But seven influential people who say they have been subjected to Met Police corruption and incompetence have signed an open letter in the Daily Mail today calling for her removal. Among the signatories were Baroness Doreen Lawrence, Lady Brittan and the former Conservative MP Harvey Proctor, whose home was raided in March 2015 by Operation Midland detectives, in response to false allegations of historic child abuse made by Carl Beech - who is now in prison for 18 years for perverting the course of justice and fraud. Emma asks Harvey why he wants Cressida Dick's resignation. There are 7.9 billion people living on the planet. But why is human population discussed so little when it comes to the climate crisis? That's a question listeners Sue and Martin want answers to, and that Tim Dyson, Emeritus Professor of Population Studies at the London School of Economics is going to help untangle. He talks to Emma about the facts behind global population growth, the trends in family size, and why having fewer children isn't going to help alleviate the immediate pressures of the climate crisis. Edie Eckhart is 11 years old, from Bridlington in Yorkshire and has cerebral palsy. Like a lot of other 11 year olds this September, she's starting at secondary school. Edie is the main character in a new children's book, ‘The Amazing Edie Eckhart' written by comedian Rosie Jones, who tells Emma why she wanted to create a young disabled heroine.
