..."Det finns också en annan sorts ”tråkig” som läggs på en utifrån. Jag har varit på arbetsplatser och i sammanhang där den som påtalar fördomar direkt får stämpeln glädjedödare. Kvinnor har länge burit samma erfarenhet. På 90talet kastades epitet som bitterfitta /fittstim mot feminister som vägrade vara till lags, skapade dålig stämning då de ständigt pekade ut sexism där den fanns Sara Ahmed tyckte det borde ses som hedervärt att kallas glädjedödare och myntade begreppet #FeministKilljoy #AB

Here‘s to the lady misgendering and pointing at me with a smirk, as I waited to get done at the beauty salon while reading Feminist Killjoy, today:
Your cis-het concept of gender presentation can  kiss my ARPs. May your ear buds explode in accordance with Andrea Parker and Sara Ahmed.

"When we talk of “white men” we are describing an institution."
- Sara Ahmed, White Men

If you haven't read Sara Ahmed, you're missing out.

Her essay "White Men" goes a long way to making sense of how institutions work, and how their behaviours diverge from their stated mandates.

I read this essay 8 1/2 years ago and I have never stopped thinking about it.

White Men

It was one of the funnier moments in my diversity research. I was interviewing a practitioner. She shared with me a story. She had been looking at the new webpage of the senior management team at h…

"Unseen violence is not simply violence that is not seen. Unseen violence is an action. You have to unsee something because it is seen. A complaint can be an effort to make the violence seen, to bring it out. A protest, also, can be an effort to bring the violence out, to make it public by creating a public." (Sara Ahmed, Killjoy Truths)

In one of the best-known German business magazines for women, the new issue is about Vereinbarkeit - the daily struggle to balance work and family life. On the cover is a married couple who run several companies while raising 4 children. The two are successors to a family dynasty and are very wealthy by birth. In her podcast, she shared that they've had about 16 nannies so far. I don't like it that such families lead the debate on Vereinbarkeit in Germany. #whitefeminism #feministkilljoy

I'm also practicing at being a #FeministKilljoy - in a "I need to get better at this" kind of way.

I am generally socially inept so I lurk a lot rather than join in a conversation.

In non-SF reading, my favourite authors are probably Victor Hugo and Arthur Ransome... In SF reading I have far too many, Peake, Le Guin, Delaney, Hobb, Sam J Miller, RB Lemberg, Ada Palmer, NK Jemison...

A quote from The Feminist Killjoy Handbook on trigger/content warnings that is spot on.

"In fact, trigger warnings are better understood as techniques that can enable some people to remain in the room in order to have difficult conversations about distressing material. Trigger warnings are about providing more information, not less. They are not about putting an end to difficult conversations but enabling those with a history of trauma to participate in them."
