Re: Feminism and Race

I'm half-Indian. My mother went to law school in India and got an LLM. She also gave tradition the middle finger and married a white foreigner (my dad). Her siblings were revolted that she didn't wait for her father to pick out a husband for her and stopped speaking to her. Her father, OTOH, shrugged and threw a beautiful semi-traditional wedding for her anyway. None of her siblings (my aunts and uncles on my mother's side) attended, and my mother's best friend was literally locked in her house by her parents to stop her attending the wedding. OTOH, my mother's beloved college professor and his wife, as well a lot of family friends, were perfectly fine with it and happy for her, and after a couple years the general opinion was no1curr.

Lots of gender issues? Fuck yes. Pervasive, strangling, monolithic, stifling, completely closed-down social regime of backwards gender ideas? Fuck no. Tell your friends there's a fuckload of variety and mixed opinions about it.
