Feminism originally emerged in a Western context with a meaning related to the women's movements. It has expanded as a belief system so that is now like an ideology to counter patriarchy and hegemony. The women's movement in Taiwan went through four stages historically, and is now entering a stage in which queer studies and men's studies are allying with the feminist camp, constituting an interesting coalition, which in this study is labeled the feminist cool family, as an umbrella term and metaphor. Members of the feminist cool family share a common theoretical background and insight, but their goals and ultimate concerns are not always the same. This study analyzes the convergence and divergence of these 3 camps. Data from 36 feminist informants were collected using face-to-face in-depth interviews taking about 1.5 hours each. According to the analysis, although informants had different levels of feminist identification, it was clear that feminism had influenced them despite some variation in meaning. In addition, the process of feminist consciousness and identification exhibited convergence among the feminist cool family, and divergence from certain perspectives such as feminist subjectivity, hierarchical relationships within feminists, and the myth of sisterhood on the other hand. Finally, results suggest that the concept of gender mainstreaming is a possible strategy to integrate different standpoints in the feminist cool family. |
