Feminist Thought
Consciousness Raising
Mackinnon
says, ÒCR IS feminist method.Ó
How? Why? What does she mean?
What is CR
and how does it pertain the theory building, generation, etc??
WomenÕs
experience as the foundation of our (theoretical) knowledge
Rooted in
the real, the realities of living our gender
Nothing is
trivial
ÒWomen
learning that the entire structure of sexual domination, the tacit relations of
deference and command, can be present in a passing glance.Ó (TFTS 89)
