Because really talking about any topic means talking about strengths and weaknesses, agreement and disagreement. And even if the thrust of my talk was 99.9% about support/ respect/ affirmation, if I said anything that could in any way be heard by anybody as disrespectful of any sort of feminism (or of any women) it would be a Very Bad Thing. By contrast, if you gave your talk about the theology of masculinity, I'd expect a pretty good proportion of it to be critical in nature, and to make some men feel disrespected, and that would not be a Very Bad Thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14703787.post-46541878098957138402011-03-04T06:46:44.867-05:002011-03-04T06:46:44.867-05:00Interestingly, I entered my graduate program with ...Interestingly, I entered my graduate program with a stated interest in feminist theology and an explicit lack of interest in "feminist theory"- now I find that my interests have flipped! i'm thinking about epistemology and revelation now and texts in feminist philosophy are very helpful- while feminist theology often relies on a view of the atonement and/or God's role in the world that I find problematic... with a privileging of the experience of suffering that i find slippery in terms of epistemology...Kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04273516855607922295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14703787.post-87642385424151318902011-03-03T21:47:29.111-05:002011-03-03T21:47:29.111-05:00You know, I've just realized this has happened...You know, I've just realized this has happened regarding me and disability theology, too.
