Kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo, ukhe weva igama elithi intersectional feminism. Kodwa ayisiyiyo loo nto kuphela yobufazi , unokubuza? Hayi, akunjalo. Nantsi yonke into oyifunayo ukuyazi-kubandakanya indlela yokwenza ubufazi bakho buhlangane ngakumbi.
Yintoni i-intersectional feminism?
Nangona iifeminists zakuqala eziMnyama (uninzi lwazo ezazingamalungu oluntu lweLGBTQ+) zaziqhelisela ubufazi phakathi kwamacandelo, eli gama layilwa ligqwetha, itshantliziyo kunye nomphengululi wethiyori yobuhlanga uKimberlé Crenshaw ngo-1989, xa wayepapasha iphepha kwiYunivesithi yaseChicago Legal Forum enesihloko esithi. Ukucandwa kwemida yokudityaniswa kobuhlanga kunye nesondo. Njengoko uCrenshaw echaza, i-feminism ye-intersectional kukuqonda indlela abantu ababhinqileyo abadibanisa ngayo-kubandakanywa uhlanga, udidi, ukuxhatshazwa ngokwesini, ubunikazi besini, ubuchule, inkolo, ubudala kunye nesimo sokufudukela kwelinye ilizwe-ichaphazela indlela abafumana ngayo ingcinezelo kunye nocalucalulo. Ingcamango kukuba bonke abafazi banamava ehlabathi ngokwahlukileyo, ngoko ke ubufazi obugxile kuhlobo olulodwa lomfazi kwaye luyihoxisa ukudibanisa kunye neenkqubo ezihlala zigqithisene zengcinezelo zikhethekileyo kwaye aziphelelanga.
Umzekelo, ngelixa owasetyhini omhlophe othandana nesini esahlukileyo enokufumana ucalucalulo olusekelwe kwisini sakhe, umntu obhinqileyo othandana nesini esiNtsundu unokufumana ucalucalulo olusekelwe kwisini sakhe, ubuhlanga kunye nokuziqhelanisa ngokwesondo. Abo bahambelana nobutshantliziyo bobufazi babeyazi ithiyori kaCrenshaw, kodwa ayizange ihambe ngokwenyani de kube yiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo, xa yongezwa kwi-Oxford English Dictionary ngo-2015 kwaye yafumana ingqalelo ebanzi ngakumbi phakathi kwe-2017 Women's March. —eyile ndlela uqhankqalazo oluphose ngayo uphawu xa kufikelelwa kumba wokuhlangana kweendlela.
Yahluke njani kwi-feminism eqhelekileyo?
I-Mainstream ye-20th yenkulungwane ye-American feminism, ngenxa yazo zonke izinto ezilungileyo ezenzayo, yayingaphelelanga, njengoko yayisekelwe kumava enkcubeko kunye nembali yabasetyhini abamhlophe abaphakathi kunye nabaphezulu. Imiba emalunga nobuhlanga, umgangatho wodidi, isini, ukukwazi nokufudukela kwelinye ilizwe ayizange ihoywe (kwaye isenjalo). Qaphela ukuba kusekho abantu abathanda ifashoni yakudala kunye nekhethelo lobufazi, kuquka nombhali uJ.K. Rowling, igama lakhe transphobic feminism kutshanje—kwaye ngokufanelekileyo—uye wagxekwa.
Yintoni onokuyenza ukuze wenze eyakho i-feminism ihlangane ngakumbi?
Nye. Zifundise (kwaye ungayeki ukufunda)
Ukuqonda-kunye nokuchitha-ukuthambekela kwakho kuthatha umsebenzi, kwaye indawo elungileyo yokuba lo msebenzi uqalise kukufunda kunye nokuphulaphula abantu abaye baphila amava ahlukeneyo. Funda iincwadi ezimalunga ne-intersectional feminism (kubandakanywa neCrenshaw's Kwi-Intersectionality , Angela Y. Davis’s Abasetyhini, ubuhlanga, kunye nodidi kunye noMolly Smith kunye noJuno Mac's Amahenyukazi anemvukelo ); landela iiakhawunti eziku-Instagram ezithetha ngokudibana (njenge-trans activist URaquel Willis , umbhali, umququzeleli kunye nomhleli UMahogany L. Browne , umbhali Layla F. Saad kunye nombhali kunye netshantliziyo Blair Imani ); kwaye uqiniseke ukuba yonke imithombo yeendaba oyisebenzisayo ivela kwimithombo eyahlukeneyo kunye namazwi. Yazi kwakhona ukuba oku akusiyo imeko yokufunda-enye-kwaye-wenzile. Xa kuziwa ekubeni yi-feminist edibeneyo-njengokuchasa ubuhlanga-umsebenzi awuzange wenziwe; yinkqubo yobomi bonke, eqhubekayo.
2. Yamkele inyhweba yakho…uze ulisebenzise
Njengalo naluphi na uhlobo lokungafundi kunye nokufunda kwakhona, ukuvuma ilungelo lakho linyathelo lokuqala eliyimfuneko. Noko ke, qaphela ukuba ilungelo elimhlophe alikuphela kwelungelo elinokukuthintela ubufazi bakho—ilungelo elinamandla, ilungelo lodidi, ilungelo le-cisgender, ilungelo elincinane nezinye ezingakumbi.
Nje ukuba ulamkele ilungelo lakho, musa ukuyeka. Akwanelanga ukutsho nje ukuba uxhamle kwi-white supremacy, heteronormativity kunye nezinye iinkqubo zocalucalulo. Ukwenza ubufazi bakho buhlangane ngokwenyani, kufuneka usebenze ngenkuthalo ukusebenzisa ilungelo lakho lokudiliza ezi nkqubo kwaye wabelane ngamandla akho nabanye.
Ukuba ukwimeko yokunikela ngemali, yenza njalo. Njengoko umbhali kunye nomcebisi weyantlukwano UMikki Kendall kutshanje usixelele , Nikela kwiingxowa-mali zokuncedisana, iiprojekthi zebheyile, nayiphi na indawo apho loo mali inokuchaphazela utshintsho olunentsingiselo kuluntu olunokuthi lube ngaphantsi kolwakho. Unamandla kunye nelungelo kwicala lakho, nokuba kubonakala ngathi awunalo ngokwaneleyo ukutshintsha ihlabathi. Singenza nantoni na ukuba sisebenza kunye.
Thatha uluhlu lwendawo yakho yokusebenzela kwaye uqaphele apho unokuthatha khona amanyathelo-amakhulu namancinci-ukukhuthaza indawo echasene nobuhlanga, nokuba oko kukufumana introspective malunga nezenzo zakho okanye ukufunda indlela onokuxela ngayo ucalucalulo olungekho mthethweni.
Enye into ebalulekileyo ekufuneka siyiqaphele kukuba akufuneki sibhidanise amandla okwabelana kunye nokusebenzisa inyhweba nge-centering white cishet (cisgender kunye namazwi athandana nesini esingafaniyo). Ukuba ungumfazi omhlophe, qiniseka ukuba uphulaphule ngaphezu kokuba uthetha, kwaye ufunde kuzo naziphi na izigxeko ozifumanayo-kungenjalo, unokuba netyala lokuhlambalaza.
3. Sebenzisa amandla akho okuthenga ngokulungileyo
Ubusazi ukuba nje ezine Fortune 500 CEO are Black , yaye akukho namnye kubo ongabafazi abaNtsundu? Okanye ukuba kulo nyaka, nangona kwakukho inani elirekhodiweyo labasetyhini abazii-CEO kwi-Fortune 500 , kwakusekho ama-37 kuphela (kwaye bathathu kuphela kwabangama-37 abangabafazi bemibala)? Amadoda amhlophe e-cisgender ayaqhubeka enolawulo olukhulu kumashishini, kwaye ngelixa kusenokungabonakali ngathi ukhetho lwakho lwemihla ngemihla lunokuba yinto ebangela utshintsho, banako. Ngaphambi kokuba uchithe imali yakho ngokuzithandela, cinga ngenyani malunga nokuba iya phi na kwaye ngubani oxhasayo. Kwinqanaba elikhulu, cinga ngokutyala imali kwiinkampani zabasetyhini abanemibala okanye ukunikela kwimibutho enceda amantombazana amancinci anombala aphumelele kwishishini. Kwinqanaba elincinci, khangela amashishini aphethwe ngabantu abanemiqobo yokungena ephezulu ngokungekho ngqiqweni. (Nazi ezinye iibrendi zabaNtsundu, iibrendi zabemi bomthonyama kunye iibrendi eziphethwe queer siyayithanda.) Yonke idola kunye nokhetho ngalunye lubalulekile.
