1.Does Iris Marion Young offer an adequate account of oppression? Why or why not? You may use other articles and/or careful examples to support your case.
2.Is ‘doing gender’ optional? Can we stop doing gender, or should we? Why or why not? You might draw on readings relating to gender performativity here.
3.Given Bartky and Serano’s disagreement on this topic, should we get rid of femininity, revalue it, or alter it? Draw directly on these or other course authors to answer this question.
4.Do you think Kate Manne’s conception of misogyny is philosophically or politically useful? Why or why not, and how so? You might consider an example to help demonstrate your position.
5.Has the Predator/prey dynamic identified by Julia Serano affected the treatment of intersexuality as reviewed by Kessler and/or Esther Leidorf? Why or why not? (For your objection, if you think the dynamic has affected treatment, why might it mistakenly seem like it has not? And if the dynamic has not affected treatment, why might it mistakenly seem that it has?)
6.What are the political uses of emotion (if any)? Do you think that emotion can be useful for social or political purposes? Why or why not? You might consider drawing on examples and the works by Audre Lorde and Robin DiAngelo.
7.What do you think a feminist masculinity look like? Why (or why not) is it important to have a feminist masculinity? Consider here the work of bell hooks and perhaps Kate Manne and Julia Serano. (This isn’t a question about whether men can be feminists—it is a question about masculinity).
