Eve Eurydice speaks with Chloe & Jessie, PhD students in Gender Studies at Yale & UC Berkeley about the fractured state of liberal feminism after the 2016 election & the direct correlation between today’s feminism & the anti capitalism anti racism anti mass incarceration anti police movements that challenge the existing hierarchical structures of oppression. It’s important to interrogate the way we see ourselves & place ourselves in the world in order to improve it. If oppression first happened because of the gender discrepancy in biological reproduction; if male oppression of females is the first & oldest systemic oppression, driven by male biological insecurity & resulting urge to take over & control the means of Re/Production; then all oppression based on the model of patriarchal control of the womb. This doesn’t mean that the role we play in reproduction places us in donation-oppression categories ‘naturally.’ This oppression happen in nature. In fact, women’s oppression was intensified in Victorian times with the advent of the Industrial Revolution & Colonialism.
