Are you a feminist?

Yes, though I have to point out I’m most interested in Marxist feminism

What do you consider the most feminine about you?

I have an issue with the concept of femininity, I think it entails a lot of what society, in a particular moment in history imposes as “feminine” or “masculine”, and that should be talked about and fought against.

What do you first think of when you hear the word «red»?

A flag. Like maybe the one Charlie Chaplin carries in Modern Times

Well, class. If they’re someone I spend time with, then character

I try not to judge

Have you ever been a victim of violence?

Direct violence, in the sense of getting hit, no. But I lived in war, and that’s violence. There are also more “subtle” forms of violence that I think we all fall victim to. Like for example, when my college professor says me and my colleagues are here on account of our nice little legs, that won’t last for ever and will soon have cellulite. That’s a form of violence as well.

Just being a woman in patriarchal capitalism
