The white women’s movement argued, for example, that compared with men, women in Australia were poorly educated and worked in poorly paid jobs. Yet Aboriginal women were better educated than Aboriginal men, and when they were able to be employed, they worked in better status jobs than Aboriginal men. The white women’s movement was at that time concerned with sexuality and the right to say “yes”, to be sexually active without condemnation. For Aboriginal women, who were fighting denigratory sexual stereotypes and exploitation by white men, the issue was more often the right to say “no”. Where white women’s demands to control their fertility were related to contraception and abortion, Aboriginal women were subject to unwanted sterilisation and continued to struggle against the loss of their children to interventionist welfare agencies. While Aboriginal women insisted on their right to have access to full medical services, including information about contraception, their demands to control their own fertility were related to the right to have as many children as they wanted.”ana australianahttp://flat7.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5783709831080002412.post-57346578823862363242010-02-15T16:47:24.337+11:002010-02-15T16:47:24.337+11:00I think it makes you one for sure!
I grew up in ...I think it makes you one for sure! <br /><br />I grew up in a family where my parents weren't married, where my great-grandmother chose not to marry, despite having my grandmother, where both my grandmothers had jobs and this was normal. It didn't occur to me until I went to high school that this, perhaps, did not reflect the experience of many people. <br /><br />I was totally perplexed that people would be surprised that my parents weren't married....they didn't shun me or anything...they were just surprised.<br /><br />And this is where my feminism started, I think. I started life in a very tolerant bubble where women could choose the life that they wanted (I only learned later how hard some of those choices had been....). <br /><br />And Katherine I think the thing that you say that resonates most with me is: "I will one day see the moments when a woman's life is entirely her own, to really choose on every level". <br /><br />That is why I am a feminist and I think that is why you are one too!LauraMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5783709831080002412.post-38275672025301469882010-02-12T09:27:07.225+11:002010-02-12T09:27:07.225+11:00I don't know if I am a feminist...

I walk with women as they open up those deep power places. I know a sisterhood is available in each group of women that are willing to find it. I will one day see the moments when a woman's life is entirely her own, to really choose on every level. I know that men can only learn respect, when respected.<br /><br />Does that make me a feminist?katherinecunninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17744288991973990281noreply@blogger.com
