Via Pulpnivoria
the goal in every women life…
Feel the vibe, feel the terror, feel the pain
It’s driving me insane
I can’t fake
For god sakes why am I
Driving in the wrong lane
Trouble is my middle name
But in the end I’m not too bad
Can someone tell me if it’s wrong to be so mad about you
Mad about you
Mad
Are you the fishy wine that will give me
A headache in the morning
Or just a dark blue land mine
That’ll explode without a decent warning
Give me all your true hate
And I’ll translate it in our bed
Into never seen passion, never seen passion
That it why I am so mad about you
Mad about you
Mad about you
Mad
Trouble is your middle name
But in the end you’re not too bad
Can someone tell me if it’s wrong to be
So mad about you
Mad about you
Mad
Give me all your true hate
And I’ll translate it in your bed
Into never seen passion
That is why I am so mad about you
Mad about you
The Kenyan situation is not unusual. In many parts of the global south, women are rejecting the baggage that comes with western feminism. I believe this has to do with how it has defined what women want, and how to go about getting it. This is hardly a new criticism. For decades, “minority” women have argued that western feminism is the preserve of white, middle-class women, and does not fight the battles of women with other racial or economic backgrounds. Qualified feminism – third-world feminism, postcolonial feminism, chicana feminism – emerged as a rejection of this homogenising approach to liberation, as many women felt that their double burden – gender as well as racial or economic – was being overlooked.

“It is in the interests of all feminists to reject oppression as defined by those who experience it, rather than focusing on pointing fingers or claiming superiority over other groups.”

I didn’t learn until I was in college about all the other cultures, and I should have learned that in the first grade. A first grader should understand that his or her culture isn’t a rational invention; that there are thousands of other cultures and they all work pretty well; that all cultures function on faith rather than truth; that there are lots of alternatives to our own society. Cultural relativity is defensible and attractive. It’s also a source of hope. It means we don’t have to continue this way if we don’t like it.
