Calling Women. This was a slide that was to kick-off a discussion about the state of women in culture, for which I thought It was important to highlight how I've been namecalled, how words have been used to dismiss and discredit -- not what I write -- but WHO I am, and obviously often enough who I am is defined by the fact that I am woman. It seems important to post at this point given the tendency towards celebrating womanhoods while silencing the facts that make us diverse and different from each other, from political alliances to social class, and it seems important to insist that these differences be acknowledged, because only then can a discussion about being Pinay be fruitful and productive: without the blindness of elitism, the silencing of the fact that sometimes women are women's worst enemies. #feminismPH #feminism #feminist #feministPH #kawomenan #womanhoodPH #womanhood #womanPH #womanwriter #writingwomen
