Low versus high

Tears of Gratitude « Clarissa's Blog


Well, “woman” is encoded as “low class” and I suppose the other terms, like “family”, but especially anything implying “male” is interpreted as high class. So, what those feminists heard was, “These are not just the issues of the lowly class, but the issues of those who have status.”

American feminists do totally reason in this way, in terms of patriarchal values. That is why they are different to relate to for me, as an African feminist.
