Document Summary
Association of women with nature (dualism) [it"s too essentialist - treats nature of women as more close to nature] [it"s dualistic -> man/woman or culture/nature, they don"t break down these dualisms, they retain them but reverse them and focus of domination of women by men in monolithic sense] (obvious in cultural feminists) [too universalistic - universal category of womenhood and single analysis of women"s oppression, single category of women and single type of oppression (white feminism), speci city and di erences in women"s experiences are not counted for) [cultural appropriation, images of women from di erent cultures (indigenous american, spirituality of south asian) as symbols) [too romantic, idealist, bourgeois, not trying to change anything , new age spiritualist, disconnected from reality of militarism, globalization, capitalism] Make a connection between oppression and exploitation of women and degradation and exploitation of natural world (connect social hierarchies with natural degradation (it is part of social justice))
