What does feminism today? Does it still exist? It must give him up, where we have a Chancellor and one more men, on the street, pushing the stroller?
The mass media report every now and then on the so-called gender mainstreaming, the differences between the incomes of men and women, or crude anti-feminists as Eva Herrmann. Feminism itself is still connected to the 70's and Alice Schwarzer. With the association with dust, passing, all in butter.
This will now change the author Sonja Eismann . In a volume of essays makes them 28 young women about feminism and female identity in popular culture to speak.
you up so well in childbearing
you up so well in the bag dragging
you are so good in the back of wobbling on high heels
you can go
How did you manage that? - Man you have a lot of power
How did you manage that? - Are not you afraid?
How did you manage that? - Who taught you that?
As the guy says as Compliment:
... good for a woman
Hans-A-Plast "For a wife"
good for a woman - the punk band sang the Hanoverian Hans-A-Plast around 1980. Out of date or is it because of either of something familiar?
Sonja Eismann , journalist and author has collected in a new book of essays by feminists of today. They give various insights into the reality of life popkultursozialisierter young women.
you are no longer with posters on demonstrations to fight for their rights. Feminism has often shifted in the cultural field. Press here it out and resist sexist opinions and exclusion mechanisms. They help their friends and encourage other women to be active.
"Hot Topic" called the Iceman, edited by her book - a burning issue. In the preface, she notes that at current feminism and pop culture for ten years in Germany, no literature has been published. Unlike in the U.S.. There developed in the 90 years the so-called third wave feminism. This built on the feminism of the 70s, but the focus shifted according to the prevailing circumstances and insights. Again, the feminist activism shifted in the cultural field. The development was often in book form documented. Even in the German-speaking world there are many activities such as female DJ crews, bands and coming from the USA Lady festivals. But lacked the literature.
are thrown together thematically Accordingly, the 28 short essays, Eismann deliberately had asked only of women. A quota man she thought was an unnecessary and wrong fig leaf. In the first part of the book is about the female body as a social battlefield - anorexia in response to social powerlessness, pleasurable sexuality and contraception, unseemly body hair and gender identity. In the second part of the book, the authors examine experiences in everyday life - whether on the Work, playing football, making music or feminist activism. This is no longer a question that you need as a wife of her husband's permission to pursue a vocational activity. The law was abolished in 1976 under pressure from the feminist movement at that time. This is about many little sexist discrimination and self-evident truths that are stuck in our thinking and action. Also in the women themselves do not deny what the many - men consciously defend their privileged position when push comes - even on the pro-feminist.
Almost all authors report from personal experience that'll put them in a larger context. This makes the book even for non-academics to understand and easy to read. The topics can only be touched upon in the near future. But they give a good overview of various current discourse. The book is recommended for younger women who are not sure to what extent they are hypersensitive to sexism in everyday life or whether to make other similar experiences. There are also suggestions about their own activities, but unfortunately too few and no concrete contact, as is common in the U.S. publications.
The book is also interested men recommended. Maybe they do it similarly to a quoted professor who made a study on abortion. Upon publication, he noted, perplexed: ". I had never before thought about what it's like to be a woman"
