Taking Back the Media
Whether we’re talking about race or gender or class, popular culture is where the pedagogy is, it’s where the learning is.

bell hooks.
She does not capitalize her name. She does not spell it Bell Hooks but bell hooks. Her reasons for doing that is she wants people to focus on her work more than her name. I’m pretty sure she explains it in either Ain’t I A Woman: Black Women and Feminism or Feminist Theory From Margin to Center.

As all advocates of feminist politics know most people do not understand sexism or if they do they think it is not a problem. Masses of people think that feminism is always and only about women seeking to be equal to men. And a huge majority of these folks think feminism is anti-male. Their misunderstanding of feminist politics reflects the reality that most folks learn about feminism from patriarchal mass media.

YES. This definitely relates to the conversation yesterday about the mythical existence of “radical man-hating feminazis.”

I hate the “feminists hate men” argument. No, we don’t hate men. We refuse to go along with the status quo that states men are emotionally stunted, single minded, baboons that are slaves to their penises. I want to lift men and women up and over a society that has placed us against one another and forced us into roles we do not want to play.

In other words, within today’s cannibalistic market economy the willingness to consume homoerotic and/or homosexual images does not correspond to a cultural willingness to stand against homophobia or challenge heterosexism.
