Leading Lady is hosting a great blog carnival this week focused around a woman’s role in feminism. Stemming from a male-centric feminist campaign post from The Lighthouse, the blog carnival will bring together responses to such quotes as "the best feminists are male feminists" and that female feminists just "complain about issues."
“The best feminists are male feminists. Otherwise, with female feminists, it just sounds like they’re complaining about issues that do not exist. This is essential viewing.
He justifies his response by saying:
“While my words may have seemed inflammatory, I was actually talking about how the oppressor is the best person to speak out against oppression. In reflection, I could have worded it better, as it makes it seem that males are better than females. What I was saying is that by males the oppression of females is given legitimacy, and the privileged party can help to enact change to that end. I did not say that women are useless at feminism, because that makes no sense."
Have a response? Take this opportunity to present your case about what you think is the best way for feminists to be heard. Fem2.0 will definitely be participating and we hope that all the ladies, and guys, will participate by adding their opinions into the mix!
