description | This article sketches the distancing of dominant feminist orientations from the struggle against institutional and ideological sexism, most notably in their collusion with governments to « protect » women against criminal violence, and in their abandon of coalitions between women in the hope of gaining rights as a sexual minority. In the early 1980’s, intense debates ensued between so-called anti-violence/anti-prostitution and pro-rights/pro-sex feminists. Those who championed the cause of sexually transgressive women were identified as sex radicals. Over the past thirty years, anti-violence feminists have succeeded in mainstreaming their objectives in national legislative reforms, NGOs, UN conventions and popular media. Some sex radical feminists, worn down by the complicity of anti-violence crusaders with governments in search of ideological credit to justify discriminatory control of undocumented migrants and illicit revenues, have found a less antagonistic political base in a Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgender alliance. This erosion of feminist coalitions, however conflictive they may be, represents a decentering – or erasure – of radical feminism in favour of protectionist reforms, on one side, and integrationist reforms, on the other. |
