i really dislike this generalisation of discrete "waves" of feminism, because it leaves out a ton of stuff that was going on at the same time as (in particular) america was doing their whole "waves" thing

like, all across europe the "second wave" was pretty sharply divided between the more bourgeois "neo-feminists" and various marxist-inspired "women's front" groups which were nothing if not anti-middle class, there's tons of literature basically trying to appropriate de Beauvoir (for example) for one camp or the other, major discussions of body politics vs. women's issues as wage earners, existentialism vs. class analysis etc

saying "feminism is 1st wave 2nd wave 3rd wave" is enormously reductive imo

4th wave feminism is selfies

i agree but marxist-feminists and radical feminists were by no means the dominant political force of feminism in the era categorized as 2nd wave feminism

you mean didn't just happen

it obviously played a role

but it was not a very common practice

the anti-caste policy school won out after the mutiny so it was never attacked aggressively

basically the utilitarian colonial school got hosed in favour of the orientalist school which is why the indian aristocracy was left intact as well

scandinavia is so ahead of the curve it barely factors into my understanding of political feminism

i used to have a job following swedish riksdag proceedings and reading the gender mainstreaming debates on every bill just warmed my loving heart. go scandinavia :unsmith:

I'm really legit curious what India would have been like if Britain hadn't derailed from its pre 1857 trajectory in India.

the aristocracy would have been expropriated and much more radical social reform would have taken place

I suspect it would have caused india to fracture away from the sooner

realtalk, i actually have a lot of optimism re: race relations in norway, at least - sweden is a different issue, because they pushed earnest multiculturalism very hard for a while and are dealing with a pretty ferocious backlash. we have the major unions on our side, we have a solid parliamentary majority including the Institutional Party of Norway all agreeing that this is an issue that needs to be worked on, the racists have to resort to really shady sub-communication to get their point across, etc

there's a way to go, but i think it's improving, little by little
