I'm DJing at a Women's Studies student party, what tunes would you recommend?

Feminist and queer anthems should obviously be on the list, but I'm also looking for stuff that's not overtly radical/gay, yet fits the theme. Preferably danceable tunes. What say you?

Can someone recommend me womanist disco anthems in the vain of "I'm Every Woman"? I'm probably skipping "It's Raining Men" and "I Will Survive", 'cause I don't really like either one.

― The Lex (The Lex), Monday, 2 October 2006 11:56 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I agree that there's often a fine line between "selling sexuality" and "dealing with sexuality in a liberated way" when it comes to female artists. I'm not that familiar with Lil' Kim, but the stuff I've heard hasn't convinced me she's in the latter category.

i don't see the difference between the two at all. every artist who deals or trades on sexuality is "selling sexuality" (and i have yet to see an argument which has convinced me that this is a bad thing). "dealing with sexuality in a liberated way" - wtf does this even mean? liberating to whom? is this meant to be superior to selling sexuality?

What I meant is the difference between exploiting sexism towards women and being a sexually confident woman. Okay, many of those who exploit sexism are also sexually confident, but I think you can do the latter without the former. Of course, even then you're selling your sexual confidence, but that's not a bad thing to sell.

Speaking as someone who was a women's studies major, and went to plenty of women's studies parties, I think it's safe to say that we like music like everybody else does. There's going to be some inevitable contingent of Ani Difranco types (Bitch & Animal for the hipper) and Le Tigre tended to go down excellently back in 2000, so I guess follow that lead, but beyond that, we just like to dance! Play whatever you would play at any hipster/college party, a mix of ace pop choons and whatever. Just weed out anything really grotesquely misogynist so that you don't have to deal with the group that really will call you out on the bullshit of playing misogynistic junk at a women's studies party.

― Doctor Casino (Doctor Casino), Monday, 2 October 2006 13:38 (twenty years ago)

loi's little anecdote is smugly self-righteous. great work him thinking it's his role and right to fend off other men.

regarding strippers, i totally should have gone to a strip club when i went to roppongo. that way i'd have something more interesting to recount. as far as heading to a strip club in my home city, the likelihood is precisely zero.

― Charlie Howard (the sphinx), Monday, 2 October 2006 13:44 (twenty years ago)

As someone who used to get a sizeable contingent of "political" and even separatist lesbians down at his club nights, I'd say DON'T try and choose your tracks on "I'm down with me sistas" grounds, but DO be careful about the lyrical content of the tracks you play, as they WILL be listening, and they WILL object if needs be. Other than that, a dancefloor's a dancefloor...

Of course I'm going to play other stuff than feminist/queer anthems, which is why my initial post was worded like it was. But I don't see nothing wrong in playing thematically fitting tunes as well, if they're good and danceable. And I'm a Women's Studies major myself, so I know no one is expecting me to play a set full of feminist manifestos, just good music. I just don't think the two exclude each other.

Anyway, the mindset of certain people here makes me sad. If you think there's something inherently funny about a guy being a feminist (or feminism itself), I find that rather pathetic.

There is something funny (as in odd, rather than haha) about a guy being a self-defined feminist. Why not take a more balanced/rounded view of gender issues? Men are also limited by social roles, suffer their own areas of discimination etc. Why ignore one half of the issue?

Sympathetic to feminism fine - but feminist - I wonder.

― Bob Six (bobbysix), Tuesday, 3 October 2006 11:25 (twenty years ago)

Feminism fully agrees with this, it's practically the entire thesis: that gender roles are inherently limiting! Only one of the two gender roles comes pre-packaged w/rape, abuse, being owned & disenfranchised & economically marginalized, etc., though, so that's the one requiring triage y'dig

That isn't the same at all - "modern history" touches people's lives in very different ways than gender and sexual issues (the stuff women's studies deals with) does. There are no "modern history anhtems", but there certainly are feminist and queer anthems.

Oh yeah, and Thomas Tallis is right in that feminism today deals exactly with the issues Bob Six accuses it not dealing with. For some reason people still equate feminism with some of the more extreme separatist ideas of the seventies, which have been out of fashion for quite a while.

Also, I think "My Neck, My Back" is feminist too, in the sense that it turns traditional sexual roles around and portrays a woman as an active participant in sex rather than a passive servant.

Oh come on, you are about 8 million times smarter than this.

Dan it's my opinion that sexism & racism are equivalent evils which are, at core, expressions of the same impulse - I know that plenty of people don't share this opinion, but it hardly originates with me. It depends on whether you give special status to racism. I don't. I am as offended by sexist assholes as I am by racist ones. I would imagine that you'd be more offended by racism than by sexism, because it directly affects you; I do understand that me taking umbrage at either trope is something of a philosophical luxury, insofar as I won't be experiencing racism or sexism firsthand, like, ever. Be all that as it may, I think that assigning greater/lesser values to marginalization/oppressing/belittling/etc is stupid. "Here are songs that celebrate rape & misogynya, haha 'Womens Studies'" = yes, as offensive as any comparable racism envisioning of the trope. Sorry if that makes me dumb.

In sum:

You don't have to burn crosses to be a racist. You don't have to beat women to be a sexist. Passive sexism, in evidence all over this particular thread, is dangerous too. We need more people who are actively anti-sexist i.e. feminists, whether they're male or female.

And Tuomas, as a Women's Studies minor, it's good to encounter a friend in the struggle.

I look at the society around me with great frequency given that two of my majors are Sociology and Mass Communication. Long hours spent studying the way capitalist western culture functions suggest to me that patriarchy does, in fact, exist.

Why do you disagree? An argument would be more useful to our discussion than a pithy one-liner.

(And before anybody gets bogged down in meta-debate shit, I realize that the burden of proof lies on one to prove that patriarchy does exist, I'm just curious why Good Dog thinks it doesn't.)

I can't prove something doesn't exist. That's a logical fallacy. But simply put, all my years on God's green earth have learned me that human societies are structured on power relations which do not hinge around male domination over female. The patriarchy is a faulty model, one derived from another faulty model, ie Marxism. But I can't be arsed to give you a million examples of this because I'm lazy. One day i'll write a book which will describe the true mechanics of social order and win a nobel prize

This thread was supposed to be a genuine request for recommendations. If you think doing Women's studies and being a feminist equals to being a joke, well, that's your business I guess.

Few people I think it's weird for white people to be anti-racist or straight people to be pro-gay, so why is it so weird for a guy to be feminist? Especially since sexism affects men too, i.e. it pains a picture of how "real" men and "real" women should be, and besides women there's quite a few men who suffer from such narrow definitions of gender as well.

I agree w/you classic, $$$ is "determinant in the last instance," as a buddy o' mine said. That $$$'d elite, though, is largely bankrolled by and benefits from things like sexism in the university and in the workplace, which makes understanding/fighting patriarchy part and parcel of understanding/fighting other forms of unjust social hierarchy.

― Hoosteen (Hoosteen), Tuesday, 3 October 2006 16:54 (twenty years ago)

Good Dog, you don't need a systematic model of patriarchy to realize that sexism is widespread in a society. However, to claim gender isn't one of the most important lines of division in most societies (not the most important, because there isn't one), nor that women aren't generally in the shorter end of the stick would be kinda ridiculous.

RE: right links: well at least left/right actually applies to social groups with different interests, I'll give it that. But one example: why is it that when women sit atop of the food chain they behave exactly the same as their male colleagues? They know where their true interests lie.

For the record, I never said sexism wasn't widespread in society. I said that it's dominant mechanism isn't "patriarchy" and I absolutely disagree that history "hinges largely" on keeping women down and men up, which some of y'all seem to agree with now. Try telling that to your professors and watch them fume.

That is exactly what I'm saying. Anyone who has paid any attention to the cultural shift of ILM over the past 6 years would have known this. I think TT's post and subsequent defense of said post was a startling display of illogical, ill-thought-out, disingenuous boat-missing in terms of the audience he was addrerssing.

If I thought they were mean-spirited towards black people, I would probably go "wtf ILM" avoid the thread.

I also think that if this thread had opened up with Tuomas's third post (Can someone recommend me womanist disco anthems in the vain of "I'm Every Woman"?

Er, I really don't think so. I'd assume Women's Studies undergrads from the UK or the US have more in common with me than, say, Economics undergrads from Finland. At least based on experience I've had with exchange students here. Besides, pop music is pretty universal in Western countries these days.

Again, your comparisons aren't good. Women's Studies isn't idelogically neutral, it's commited to social change. (Almost) all of these students support feminist politics, so why not plays some that tunes they might like based on their worldview?

feminism's a lot like punk, it had it's time/place. but, now it's an outdated thing that met with a brickwall some time ago. feminism hasn't kept up w/ the shifting sands of culture and that's how it lost it's steam. granted, there are some trying to change that. but, not many. and no Ani-Army's gonna change that.

btw- it's $$$. that's the only thing that's on top. not a man/woman. but a figure...

Yeah, believing in equality is totally played out.

Sometimes I think people's definition of "feminism" is along the lines of "the reason girls won't have sex with me."

equality's an ideal, not one that seem attainable anymore.
for anyone- gender, race, etc.

feminism (as practiced in women's studies classes at small, liberal arts colleges) is kind of like an intellectual exercise in conspiracy theories for rich white girls.

You should probably just dodge the "question" and play dance music, that's what it's for.

Wow, man.

Ever heard of bell hooks? Angela Davis? Gloria Anzaldua? Robert Jensen? Emma Goldman?

Do some reading, friend.

I didn't realize that Emma Goldman was still teaching at a small liberal-arts college. How is the old girl?

Still dancing. You know Emma.

Yeah, except this conspiracy theories are backed by statistics (among everything else).

Also, ever heard of postcolonial feminism?

It seems that the people who have the strongest opinions about feminism are the ones who know the least about it.

yes, dubious statistics like the constantly bantered around "1 in 4 women have been sexually assaulted," which is b.s.

Well duh! I mean, you've never sexually assulted anyone, right?

Kind of a stupid statement. I mean, Germaine Greer has a strong opinion about it. So did you tell her the same?

I can't remember what I played at the party this thread was about. For the last Women's Studies party I was in, I did this compilation which was sort of a history of female rappers, staring with The Sequence and ending with Estelle. That was fun to compile. Might put it up here, but I'm not sure what's the current policy with file sharing.
