Should I take a course next semester called "Feminist Geopolitics" to meet girls?

This is an interesting question, and I too would like to know what, exactly, is feminist geopolitics? Granted I finished my degrees a decade ago, but I've never come across this term, so I have done some poking around and would like to hear other voices.

The first publication I stumbled on is a book review titled What feminist geopolitics do: A non-manifesto by Jennifer Hyndman, reviewing the book Feminist Geopolitics: Material States by Deborah P Dixon. Hyndman describes Dixon's book as "indispensible for scholars of feminist and critical geopolitics who eschew geopolitical realisms, retain a post-structuralist approach and want to forge accountable and material approach to geopolitics framed more by 'flesh', 'bones', 'abhorrence' and 'touch' [...] than Westphalian states,". First off, there is an equivocation there of feminist and critical geopolitics as if they are of the same clade of studies - which based on what I've read so far, is quite a stretch. Anyway. So feminist geopolitics gets rid of "realisms", but "[retains] a post-structuralist approach", suggesting origins in constructivism. Hyndman goes on to describe the approach as having a degree of "earthliness", which echoes with her mention of flesh, bones and touch - suggesting (to me at least) that feminist geopolitics considered what is felt or abhorred - overall suggesting to me that this is a school of thought more concerned with value signalling that academic significance.

The next one I found is titled Reflexicity in Practice: Power and Ethics in Feminist Research on International Relations by Brooke Ackerly and Jacqui True. I sat down to read this paper but I only made it through the abstract before I decided that this effort was no longer worth it.

We argue that the most important feminist tool for guiding international relations scholarship is the research ethic [emphasis is original]. This research ethic is the research practice of the normative concerns of constructivist, critical, post-modern, and post-colonial theories. It offers International Relations researchers feminist standards [emphasis mine] for assessing research despite feminism's multiplicity and its defiance of attempts to delimit its practice[emphasis mine]. [...] We then show that this research practice can also help the researcher resolve ethical dilemmas in research ethical ways that enhance the quality of the research.

Ok. So it's constructivism with a twist of focus on the gender rather than everything that makes constructivism influential. And it comes with the infallible-fallacy that most other forms of feminism have, wherein criticism of the underlying precepts are proof of the the theory. Thereby it's a way for pious, haughty, neo-colonial "scholars" in academia to sell books to each other rather than actually participating in the field they study. Or so I have concluded.

The class is probably hard and you’ll be graded worse since you’re a man.

why has God abandoned us

You can meet girls all over campus. That class sounds like a waste of your tuition

Powerfucking5000 · 2020-04-03T06:28:34+00:00

No, that class is likely filled up with males. But maybe you're gay so go ahead.

Do everything in life for yourself. Be man on a mission for health, success and self growth.

Women will cross your path and you'll have many chances to meet them.

Take an exercise class for your health and fitness.

Also, the women in that class will be hotter and you'll attract them since I'm assuming you're fit.

If you aren't fit, then eat healthy and exercise daily.

Or you can take bull shit courses for the sole purpose of pulling of few obese women with nose rings and pink hair.

WIA20XX · 2020-04-03T08:56:48+00:00

Hell yeah.

It will be a true test of your red pill informed social skills.

And think of all the gender studies poon you'll be swimming in. Hasn't been shaved much less shagged well in years.

Is there anything more satisfying than feminist ATM? Maybe feminist sandwich making?

throwawayvent692 · 2020-04-03T21:57:33+00:00

Just don’t. Trust me. Your grades are going to suffer and you will be frustrated from having to listen and discuss with idiots. I speak from experience
