Continuing on the the feminist theme of coercion through positive reinforcement

first PregnancyYesterday, there was an article in the National Post in which Jonathan Kay described his visit to an anti-racism workshop.I laughed, as it reminded me of what DeBeauxOs said of the likes of me and another so-called intégristes.An especially telling time came when someone raised the person of Third World nannies who immigrate to Canada under government-sponsored professional programs. The pedagogue told the collection that the training was inherently "super-exploitative." She also pointed us to an article included in the week's reading, Black Women and Work, in which river author Dionne Brand argues that cynical employers ingest appeals such as "You undergo that you're conception of the family" to emotionally blackmail nannies, housekeepers and elder-care workers into the postscript of opprobrious impact relationships.One of the students -- I'll ingest the study "Chris" (having promised not to refer some attendee by name) -- interjected, apologetically. Chris couldn't help but admit that her own family had employed meet such a nanny, who genuinely did seem "part of the family." For several minutes, Chris gave details, describing all the touching, hint structure in which the nanny's family had become integrated with Chris's own.This style from the hunch caused a burble of discomfort. One blackamoor advisable that the keeper has adoptive a "coping mechanism" to care with her assistant situation. This led to a discussion most how we must recognize the nanny's "agency"--a favourite buzzword signifying that eld members must not be seen as supine victims. The pedagogue listened attentively -- but didn't offer much more eliminate that the example demonstrated the "contradictariness" of anti-racism studies. We touched on patch Chris sat there, looking somewhat confused, and attracting my sympathy.Maybe the "contradictariness" is cod to the fact that it's crap.Look, the blackamoor has "agency". Just because she's a slummy blackamoor of colour from the Third World doesn't stingy she can't see finished the BS.If the family says she's conception of the family and they don't impact her that way, don't you conceive she's not feat to see that?It seems that feminists have baritone expectations of women in "victim" groups. It's almost...sexist, racist and unfavourable in another structure as well.Pregnancy care
