women or. Feminism and militancy are two things, the many people “out there” don't seem to go well together. Many of us, on the other hand, would like to claim that, that they fit together perfectly. But the overall social impression has its reasons, and it's not like that, as if it wasn't obvious, that militancy is a strong one “gender bias” hat, i.e. a strong gender component or. we, when we think about militancy, often think of men. “Militancy” will be examined from different aspects and perspectives in the course of the lecture and will not be defined conceptually from the outset. We see the discussion as an important theoretical contribution with consequences for left-wing radical and feminist practice, but not explicitly as a contribution to the militancy debate that has been going on for decades. The lecture should be understood as an experiment, to past feminist (and militants) Join the practice and ask questions at the same time, why this is so difficult. We want to address the historical oblivion that has been criticized in many places, without overlooking changes or adopting dogmatic attitudes. That is why a large part of this lecture is historical. The thematization of the question, why it is so difficult, to connect with militant feminist practice, but indirectly leads to other questions. For example, on the questions about meaningful militancy in general, after the invisibility of militant women both by the bourgeois press and by a left-wing movement, after the “costs” of militancy, for new focal points of the movement, etc.
We treat “woman” as socially constructed, powerful category that judges subjects. A large part of our lecture deals with the critical presentation of theories and understandings of gender, which we reject; That's exactly why we think, that you also have to name this category, where it is used in problematic ways. In our view, the emancipatory dimension of militancy arises from the break with socialized gender norms, in this respect our focus is on socialization, Attributions and (more linguistic) representation of gender. But these never happen outside of a dichotomous society, so two-part, Understanding of gender. It's not about that for us, to define for others, what gender they are or to make the common struggles of FLINTAs invisible. Neither do we understand “women” as just cis women, nor would we claim, that this, what we say, also applies to every FLINTA person. Ultimately, that's what we care about, to encourage each other to do so, to break with sexual conditioning, not about that, to judge, who is in it, what we say, must or may find again.
