Re: Feminism and Race

[(Anonymous)]

Ugh, that sucks. Unfortunately, there are quite a few western feminists who fail to look outside of their own cultures or even try to question the assumption that western ideals (and, in a lot of cases, white, middle class western ideals) are the best way of life. You could maybe try pointing out that while there are issues in many Asian cultures with regards to sexism, there are just as many issues in whatever part of the world you're in--I'm assuming somewhere in North American or Western Europe, though I could be wrong? Or are there any Asian student groups on campus? Maybe you could get some other women from those groups to come and talk about those experiences and maybe dispel some of the other people in your group's seriously misguided ideas. You could also always look around for articles to share with the group or even professors on your campus who do work related to both gender and culture? These things might not change their minds, since people can be a bit dense sometimes, but they might at least get them thinking. Although it sucks that hearing you talk about your own experiences isn't enough to push them in that direction.

Barring all of the above, just be more blunt with them. Let them know everything you've told us here, and that them writing off your defense of your culture--a culture that they're all probably not very familiar with and really shouldn't be making assumptions or sweeping statements about--is belittling and close-minded and makes you seriously uncomfortable.
