Excluded: Making Feminist and Queer Movements More Inclusive by Julia Serano

4.0

Here Julia Serano presents what she terms a "holistic" theory of feminism. She has thought up a way to see the various "isms" of our culture as a series of double standards, some with the weight of more power and history behind them. She also critiques feminist and queer movements, some of which have a tendency to become exclusionary and elitist, with "true activist/evil oppressor" dichotomies, when in reality no one is perfect and everyone is subject to various double standards. I'm not explaining this well. I think I need to go back and take notes; Serano's model looks extremely useful.
