From the Bitch Manifesto to the movie Mean Girls and the popularity of the mean girl trope, the right to be mean is the new frontier for white feminist discontent. My work explores how feminism points to gender as if it is resistance in and of itself. Feminist discourses have positioned the white heterosexual mean girl/woman as both the primary problem to patriarchy and the antidote without whom patriarchy cannot be remade. I argue that the white mean girl feminist is the idealistic figure of complaint and the white hetero-patriarchal mark of bourgeois feminist maturity. In this presentation, I will share a brief overview of this book project.
Join the virtual live film screening of "Pandora’s Box: Lifting the Lid on Menstruation", hosted by the Gender and Social Justice program. This film examines period poverty, menstrual inequity and the need for accessible and affordable menstrual care products. It addresses the lived experience of female prisoners, transgender activists as well as menstrual health experts and advocates. All attendees will be entered in a draw for door prizes. The screening will be held on WebEx, with the link to join below.
