From the author of Abolish the Family, a provocative compendium of the feminisms we love to dismiss and making the case for the bold, liberatory feminist politics we’ll need to stand against fascism, nationalism, femmephobia, and cisness.
In recent years, “white feminism” and girlboss feminism have taken a justified beating. We know that leaning in won’t make our jobs any more tolerable and that white women have proven to be, at best, unreliable allies. But in a time of rising fascism, ceaseless attacks on reproductive justice, and violent transphobia, we need to reckon with what Western feminism has wrought if we have any hope of building the feminist world we need.
Sophie Lewis offers an unflinching tour of enemy feminisms, from 19th century imperial feminists and police officers to 20th century KKK feminists and pornophobes to today’s anti-abortion and TERF feminists. Enemy feminisms exist. Feminism is not an inherent political good. Only when we acknowledge that can we finally reckon with the ways these feminisms have pushed us toward counterproductive and even violent ends. And only then can we finally engage in feminist strategizing that is truly antifascist.
At once a left transfeminist battlecry against cisness, a decolonial takedown of nationalist womanhoods, and a sex-radical retort to femmephobia in all its guises, Enemy Feminisms is above all a fierce, brilliant love letter to feminism.

作为酷儿左翼的女权主义学者,Lewis详细梳理了西方女权主义两百多年历史中的各种“毒流”,包括殖民主义的、白人至上的、优生学的、追随纳粹的、迫害性工作者的、推动审查和严打的、恐同恐跨的、歌颂女老板的、锡安主义的、反堕胎的(没错,也有反堕胎的女权主义者,认为堕胎违背了女本位的“关怀伦理”陷入了男本位的“个人主义”)等等。结论是:对于任何反法西斯斗争来说,女权主义都是必要的组成部分;但与此同时,远非所... 作为酷儿左翼的女权主义学者,Lewis详细梳理了西方女权主义两百多年历史中的各种“毒流”,包括殖民主义的、白人至上的、优生学的、追随纳粹的、迫害性工作者的、推动审查和严打的、恐同恐跨的、歌颂女老板的、锡安主义的、反堕胎的(没错,也有反堕胎的女权主义者,认为堕胎违背了女本位的“关怀伦理”陷入了男本位的“个人主义”)等等。结论是:对于任何反法西斯斗争来说,女权主义都是必要的组成部分;但与此同时,远非所有女权主义都是反法西斯的。在一次新书访谈里Lewis说:“我根本不在意‘J. K. 罗琳是不是一个真的女权主义者’这种问题。真正重要的是,’她是不是真的女权主义者’这一问题本身是否会让你失去斩断她那沾满鲜血的罪恶之手的能力。”谁能来写一部非西方的“女权主义毒流”史? (展开)

Cisness is “feminism’s counterrevolution.”

作者好像忘了女人也是人…?女人当然会做错事,是法西斯是racist,但是不是因为她们是女的就自动成为feminist了。对到底她们如何是feminist说的太少,甚至怀疑根本没有,只是因为这些人是女性所以就直接默认了,而立即生成各种guilt来。这本书也算是某种猎巫…坏女人! 看到结论作者自己设想的女权也只是人权而做这些的恰好是女的。可作为女的要解决的作为女的而受到的不公究竟是什么,作者到底知道吗... 作者好像忘了女人也是人…?女人当然会做错事,是法西斯是racist,但是不是因为她们是女的就自动成为feminist了。对到底她们如何是feminist说的太少,甚至怀疑根本没有,只是因为这些人是女性所以就直接默认了,而立即生成各种guilt来。这本书也算是某种猎巫…坏女人! 看到结论作者自己设想的女权也只是人权而做这些的恰好是女的。可作为女的要解决的作为女的而受到的不公究竟是什么,作者到底知道吗?可能是写作策略吧她一点不提敌对,比如terf和swerf到底是怎么得出她们的结论的…戴了个法西斯帽子结束。如果这样还有任何必要说feminism吗,humanism足以,且最“inclusive” 看到neoliberal这边这么肤浅不知道该做什么感想…羡慕也不安于她们的自信。 (展开)
