Phénoménologies féministes

Un appel à textes pour un numéro spécial de la revue Continental Philosophy Review :

Papers should be informed by the tradition of phenomenology, for example Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, etc., or they should be methodologically arising out of that tradition. Papers are expected to apply such a phenomenological approach to questions and/or issues of a feminist nature, or regarding gender/sexuality.

Les féministes prennent plus de plaisirs

On peut être une féministe sans être pour autant seule, lesbienne ou moche :

Past research suggests that women and men alike perceive feminism and romance to be in conflict (Rudman and Fairchild, Psychology of Women Quarterly, 31:125–136, 2007). A survey of US undergraduates (N = 242) and an online survey of older US adults (N = 289) examined the accuracy of this perception. Using self-reported feminism and perceived partners’ feminism as predictors of relationship health, results revealed that having a feminist partner was linked to healthier relationships for women. Additionally, men with feminist partners reported greater relationship stability and sexual satisfaction in the online survey. Finally, there was no support for negative feminist stereotypes (i.e., that feminists are single, lesbians, or unattractive). In concert, the findings reveal that beliefs regarding the incompatibility of feminism and romance are inaccurate.
