I don't think any of the (real) authors are trans, so it's not ideologically difficult from that perspective. On the other hand, feminism is (nominally) a movement to establish equality of the sexes, and about fighting against gender stereotypes. Men convincingly writing from a female point of view, and publicly presented as women, would seem to me to do exactly that. Fight against writing style/subject stereotypes, and demonstrate how gender is not essential in the act of writing - subverting gender essentialism.
If feminist were true to their professed convictions, they should be applauding this book.
- techdragon 5y agoDefinitely not an expert, but I like learning so anyone with a more nuanced/detailed take please correct/elaborate… If this could be considered “feminist” or not, depends a lot on which “wave” of feminism is setting the conversational agenda. Feminist philosophy has at points in the past been more about “males are bad” than it is today.
