(AFRICAN EXAMINER) - The upcoming tenth biennial conference of the International Feuchtwanger Society (IFS) will essentially interrogate the broad range of issues underpinning gender dynamics in exile as it relates to women. This was disclosed in a statement published on the websites of the Libraries of the University of Southern California (USC) and Villa Aurora
hearing room and testifying under oath in front of the world. those gender dynamics have been in play consistently. i think for example of the cassidy hutchinson testimony when, on the record under oath, she told people what she was told during her time in the white house. then other people on background, not putting their names on it, and certainly not putting themselves under oath, put their own stories forward that were counter to her narratives. and people did not outright believe her. it was a longer story. of what it takes to believe women. i also think if you look at the investigations, look in new york led by tish james, in fulton county down in georgia, the da there, these are women in every single run of the system, republican or not, who are leading the accountability movement against trump right now. as we look forward to midterms through this lens, which races are you watching? so many of them. i think that, more broadly, i m looking at governors races and whether or n
gretchen whitmer be able to keep her seat. it s actually a fascinating when there, because she is running against another woman. so i m interested in seeing the ways that gender dynamics are either taken out as the run for this executive role, or the ways it manifests differently. because executive roles are different than people who are running for congress, and this is a delineation i make in the book. there s a reason i focus on the primaries, because that is wind gender and race dynamics are so much more palpable and can actually impact the electoral chances of the women who are running. but then also when it comes to executive roles, running for mayor, running for governor, certainly running for president, the stereotypical traits that voters assigned to those roles are still by and large considered to be male. it is who can be the chief executive. and i asked people as they read, to close their eyes and imagine the president, and by no fault of their own, because we have only see
she was a little girl that you stand up for what is right even if you re standing alone. but today we re not alone, and that is feels amazing. it s like we re going back in time and it s about young ladies like her. it s just like so scary, like genuinely very scary. strong emotions here that we ve heard from people at the supreme court today. and we ve heard especially from women who emphasize their bodies and choices would be controlled by men, primarily, under this draft ruling to overturn roe. we heard that, and it s true. there are some aspects of abortion and the right to privacy that can certainly be complex. but the power in gender dynamics are not. they are blunt. pretty clear, and they re often patently unfair because the attacks on these rights have long run through and via a sexist system of government power.
