Questions for Tamarinda and Ingrid

Submitted by ebock on Mon, 11/03/2008 - 10:53pm.

What factors are most significant for you in how you define yourself? Do you call yourself a feminist? If so, what is your personal definition of feminism?

How do you feel about the essentialist/post-modernist/realist debate in the Moya article? How do you feel about Moya's claim that some of Moraga's ideas were being used out of context in some post-modernist feminist works?

And along those lines, do you agree with Moraga in that "the physical realities of [women of colors'] lives - [their] skin color, the land or concrete [they] grew up on, [their] sexual longings" influence their identity, but they "do not define a person's politics?" [taken from the Moya article pg. 135] To what extent do you feel that these things influence your "politics", if you have "politics," per se?
