To All the Fuckbois I Have Loved Before

Standing on the edge of my teendom cliff, I felt no less than Holden Caulfield except that here, I wanted to happily jump off, thus, falling into the hell that they refer to as adulthood.

Hello Naina,
ReplyDeleteI must admit, you've done a good job with this write up. But, I was wondering if your stand on the 'contemporary' feminist theory will have a practicable acceptance. As is the case, I take it that you know that feminist theory has developed through 3 stages. Its earliest exponent were Mary Wollstonecraft and J.S.Mill who belong to the 1st generation. Simone de Beauvoir comes into the second generation and 3rd generation defined the contemporary theory. My argument here is that Feminist theory should be somewhat more biased towards Feminism and less towards equality. Because for Feminism to reach grassroots it has to have an aggressive edge to it. And unless it is armed with it patriarchal men will not cede any grounds for it.
