AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a user seeking urgent help with an AP English assignment focused on feminist theory, expressing a lack of time to analyze specific phrases. The phrases highlight complex themes such as the duality of victims and perpetrators in sexism, the intersectionality of race and gender, and the implications of racism within same-race interactions. There is a suggestion that the thread may be misplaced in the forum, with some members questioning its relevance to social sciences. The conversation emphasizes the importance of engaging with the material rather than expecting others to provide answers without the user contributing their own thoughts.

Phrases' explanations needed (urgent)

OK, I am a bit overburdened with work these days. And I have this assignment in which I need to explain these phrases (10 marks each) out of a total of 70.
Unfortunately, I don't have much time these days, so I can't spend much time on it. So I thought maybe someone could help me, so that I could do the work more quickly instead of spending hours analayzing etc.
This is an AP English assignment, but it's more like AP Feminism! The teacher's got a degree in feminism, and that's all what she talks about.
I'll appreciate quick replies.

Thank you very much!
The phrases are below:
1. "We cannot logically portray the same group of people as both perpetrators and victims of sexism."

2. "But if i were a Black woman, people would think that i was withholding important information if i did not qualify 'woman' with 'Black'."

3. "We live in a world in which gender differentiation is thoroughly intertwined with gender hierarchy and one can't learn one without learning the other..."

4. "...racism can be a factor in relations between people even when they are of the same racism..."

5. "That men aren't subject to sexism doesn't mean sexism has no effect on their relationships to each other, especially when the men are from different races in a racist society."

6. "...unless i know something more about two women than the fact that they are woman, i can't say anything about what they might have in common."

7. "A description of the common world we share 'as woman' may be simply a description of my world with you now as an honorary member."

Physics?

Maybe post this in the Philosophy section.
 
I agree that this thread is certainly misplaced, and also doesn't belong in any of the technical forums. Maybe General Discussion, but even there it probably will just cause a non-helpful argument.

Thread locked temporarily while the Mentors discuss this...
 
Okay, let's see if this thread can bear useful fruit here in Social Sciences. Thread unlocked.

How are your questions NOT social science?

EDIT: Oh, btw. If you want some help here you need to start sharing some of your ideas about these questions. We can then critique. Do not expect anyone here to do your thinking for you.

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
