Title: Feminism and Multiculturalism: Measuring Gendered Cultural Harms<\/p>\n
Abstract: Deeply ingrained in the multiculturalism versus feminism debate is the idea that certain minority practices are more deserving of attention and criticism for their misogynistic undertones than other (liberal) practices. In this talk, I\u2019ll consider one of the potential reasons for this asymmetrical focus on minorities. Such argument maintains that many minority cultural practices are simply more harmful to women than their Western counterparts. I\u2019ll go over how the \u2018harm argument\u2019 is embedded in the literature, and then assess its conduciveness. Ultimately, I\u2019ll argue the \u2018harm argument\u2019 fails through its ill-suited selective points of comparisons, its lack of contextual awareness, and through its heavy reliance on \u2018Gender Orientalist\u2019 postulations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
