La culture, c’est les autres

Leti Volpp quoted by Le Courrier, March 14, 2017

“It is not a question of defending cultural relativism, where criticism of other cultures would be prohibited and feminist values should be discarded. What I am suggesting is that we look at the way in which all cultures, including our own, are both patriarchal and characterized by resistance to such patriarchy.”  The key to a decolonization of feminism is to “listen carefully, to become aware of one’s own limits, and not to address others convinced of one’s own superiority.”
