The hardest thing about relationships is that you have to pretend like its not there.

To sallow razor blade emotions and smile while they cut you up inside.

They don't tell you about the confusion

That lost feeling after an argument

Or offering your body as a sacrifce

The ultimate death.

The Philosophical Difference Between Modern and Post - Modern Feminism (Link to other blog) attached below.

Feminism can be described as an active support for women’s rights with the purpose of attaining equality among the sexes. There exist different strands of thought within feminism. According to university research fellow in sociology at the University of Leeds, Sasha Roseneil, these strands often ascribe to a modern philosophical framework commonly categorised as modern feminist theories. Said theories consist of the modernist belief in absolute truths, a belief that has inspired grand theories of oppression such as the feminist conception of patriarchy which suggests that society is dominated and structured to favour men. In addition, modern feminist theories consist of an adherence to rationality, a fundamental pillar of modern epistemology (knowledge generation).Feminism can be described as an active support for women’s rights with the purpose of attaining equality among the sexes.

To understand Modern and Post-Modern feminism, one should have a basic understanding of the meanings of both (modernism and post-modernism) theories from a philosophical perspective.

Making Sense of Today.

Modernity/mordernism describes a world dedicated to science and it as it grew to dominate our everyday reality it left us with a world system that can only be interpreted through rationality. What we are now dealing with is a retaliation from that phenomenon. With people protesting for the legitimization of feelings within the context of modernity. The problem with feelings is that they do not interact well with pre-existing modern political structures. In some cases it seems to undo what some political movements achieved in the modern era. Like the right to be treated equally under the law. It is a very strange era we live in. But one that is seriously worth closer examination.

WHEN i AM NICE AND INVISIBLE AND SOMEONE NOTICES ME....

Reading on postmodern feminism has broadened my perspective on feminism. I believed in Nietzsche's interpretation of modern feminism. The one he provides in Beyond Good and Evil, where he concludes modern feminism to be a dishonest pursuit by its adherents towards matriarchal tyranny. Which, when examined closely is an incorrect assessment since modern feminism as a  whole consists of different strains making it impossible to condense and the dominant  political achievements/aspirations of modern feminism did not seek to disregard the male gender. But one strain of modern feminism known as radical feminism ascribes to the complete exclusion of the male gender. So Nietzsche's distillation of modern feminism actually describes radical feminism more accurately. An  ideal I thought was foundational to postmodern feminism. But postmodern feminism ascribes to none of the schools of thought available in feminist politics nor to a single core ideal.  It is in fact a melting pot of all these schools of thought and its adherents attempt to highlight this in their rhetoric. It’s largely influenced by postmodern theory (WHICH IN SHORT IS A DISTRUST OF ABSOLUTE TRUTHS AND AN EMBRACE OF PLURALITY IN THE SOCIOLOGICAL AND EPISTEMOLOGICAL SENSE) 

P.s You can’t really distill postmodernism and correct me if I am wrong.

It’s a struggle to box ones identity especially when one has no clue what that is. I wonder who we are describing when we try explain ourselves. Said explanation is also probably dependent on context, but it seems like we’re either describing our past or future selves because there’s always something amiss with the present self.

I hope this “Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel” documentary, sheds some light on the complexity of mental illness and how easy it is to succumb to the perils of your own mind.

Bipolar disorder is still so romanticised and misrepresented. There are so many lives that could be saved if people started asking the necessary questions.

Long live Elisa
