Related: Réflexions féministes • Antisexisme et féminisme • biblioHow patriarchal compliance has been turned into feminist activism. Over the last few years we’ve been witnessing an ideological shift within what we call third wave feminism, specifically through online activism. This shift is embodied in the thesis of « choice feminism », a movement equating feminism with -merely- any choice a woman makes.

'You don't own or control me': Janelle Monáe on her music, politics and undefinable sexuality Days before she delivers her unequivocal Time’s Up speech at the Grammys – “We come in peace, but we mean business” – Janelle Monáe walks into an upper-level hotel suite in Manhattan, just as sunset begins to fade over the Hudson river. Her 5ft stature is amplified by a wide-brimmed hat and a warm, room-owning confidence. She is dressed in a fetching new arrangement of her preferred black-and-white palette: a slightly cropped top and flared pants, worn under a fuzzy black duster coat with massive white polka dots. Monáe’s uniform of suits and tuxedos, by her reckoning, is a fashion statement second, a political statement first – a homage to her working-class upbringing, she says. Since her breakout more than a decade ago with the Fritz Lang–inspired EP Metropolis, and her critically acclaimed full-length debut The ArchAndroid, political statements have been at the core of Monáe’s work.

The Stylish Socialist Who Is Trying to Save YouTube from Alt-Right Domination In April, Alek Minassian, a twenty-five-year-old from Toronto, wrote a Facebook post—“The Incel Rebellion has already begun!”—and then drove his car into a crowd of pedestrians. For many people, this news raised two questions: Is there no depth to which the human soul will not sink? The Depressing Phenomenon of Men Who Ask Their Dates No Questions They do, however, talk a lot about snowboarding, ‘Mad Men,’ Socrates, their own penises, Amnesty International, mushrooms, foot fetishes, monogamy, war and trash bags Nikki, a 22-year-old journalism student from Minneapolis, is telling me about the worst date she’s ever been on, with a man called Athens she met at college. “He talked about his goals, his week, his career, his meditation, his favorite books, his respect for ‘real’ musicians and how most people pronounce ‘namaste’ wrong,” she says.
