Why women are more often right

 

 

In a relationship between two people who are of different sexes, classes, or ethnic backgrounds, it’s reasonable to assume that each person’s knowledge of the world will have been shaped in no small part by their status. Class and sex and race and faith are some of—but surely not the only—prisms through which we see and interpret the world. Patriarchy, the complex system through which male identity is privileged in an extraordinary number of ways, impacts everyone. Yes, as the famous phrase notes, it “hurts men too.” But one particular thing that patriarchy does is warp our understanding of everything around us, particularly things like power dynamics, sexuality, and how we communicate with one another. Feminists point out the deeply obvious: The class of persons most likely to be discriminated against by the system are also those most likely to be aware of the system itself. 

 

This enhanced awareness leads to something called “epistemic privilege.” (Epistemology is the philosophical discipline that deals with how we know things.) Epistemic privilege means that in a heterosexual relationship, it is generally—though not universally—the case that the woman will see gender-based power imbalances more clearly than will her boyfriend or her husband. This isn’t because of “feminine intuition,” it’s because folks in a historically oppressed class are always required to be more aware of power dynamics than those who belong to the dominant group. The same epistemic privilege can occur in race and class relations, regardless of the sex of the people involved.

 

Here’s an obvious example: rape and parking lots. Both men and women are intellectually aware of the reality of rape. Most understand that it is men who almost always do the raping and women who are generally the ones attacked. But because of his privilege, a man can walk into a parking lot by himself at night and forget about rape, because his maleness affords him the luxury of remaining unobservant of the possibility of sexual danger. A woman walking alone in a parking lot at night will have a different experience, rooted in her vulnerability as a member of a class targeted for sexual violence. Not only is she more vulnerable, but her very understanding of the issue is superior to that of a man walking in the parking lot. He has the privileged luxury of ignorance; she’s forced to reflect, constantly, on rape and its threat to her. That means that when the discussion of women’s vulnerability to assault comes up, women ought to enjoy “epistemic privilege” in the conversation.

 

Yes, it does mean that all else being equal, when the subject is rape, the average woman’s opinion does “count” more.

In South Africa you are twice as likely to be murdered if you are a white farmer than if you are a police officer - and the police here have a particularly dangerous life.

Zastekljena Nama in burgerji pod gimnazijo

[Frčica]

Ko so pred leti namestili stekleno fasado na Nami se je izkazalo, da je bilo to narejeno na pol mimo zakonodaje. Upam, da bo v tem primeru potekalo brez težav in, da je ZVKD dal "žegen" na tole. Meni se sicer zdi, da bo skrpucalo, ker ne bo več v proporcih. Ampak pri nas se moderne arhitekture itak ne spoštuje.

Mazzini je na temo arkad Name napisal: Ljubljana izgublja arkade. Po Slonu jih je zagradila tudi Nama - občina je to dovolila. Simbolno je to hud udarec skupnemu javnemu prostoru in potuha privatizaciji javnega.

Na spletni strani knjiznic bi morala biti povezava, kamor vpisete kraj knjiznice, clansko stevilko in geslo, potem pa te avtomatsko preusmeri na PressReader

 

To velja za določene knjižnice? Ali katero spletno stran imaš v mislih?

[Anouk]

Mislim, da je vecina knjiznic v sistemu, jaz recimo dostopam do baze preko Metlike, ampak mi vcasih ne odpre njihove spletne in komot tudi preko katere druge strani prides not, ker gre za isti link (itak moras vpisat ime kraja knjiznice in clansko stevilko, npr. tukaj). Geslo imam pa jaz tisto, ki ga uporabljam za podaljsevanje gradiva preko spleta ipd. 

 

Na Nizozemskem imajo malo drugacen sistem za dostopanje, ne rabis biti vclanjen v knjiznico ampak lahko samo prides v njihove prostore, se povezes na njihov Wi-Fi in potem preko HotSpot tocke dostopas do gradiva (velja menda en teden, potem moras it spet do knjiznice).

Ok, super!

Anouk, super, hvalaaaa!

Ni za kaj

 

Midva sva aplikacijo nalozila tudi na oba telefona in tablico, kjer si lahko potem stevilke tudi preneses in jih beres offline + lahko nastavis, da ti nove stevilke avtomatsko dodaja. Tablica je bolj prakticna zaradi formata, ker ne rabis vsake stvari do max zoomirat, ampak za kaksno revijo prelistat, ko si na vlaku ali kaj podobnega, je pa cist solidno.
