fuck yeah, hard femme!

a celebration of fabulous femme folks who look just as tough as they do fly and a plethora of hard femme inspirations.

this is not a fashion/style blog; this is an identity blog with a large fashion/style component.

femme =/= female
please keep that in mind when reblogging - misgendering is rude as hell and easily avoided.

‘For in the context of a  first/third world balance of power, feminist analyses which perpetrate  and sustain the hegemony of the idea of the superiority of the West  produce a corresponding set of universal images of the “third world  woman,” images like the veiled woman, the powerful mother, the  chaste virgin, the obedient wife, etc. These images exist in universal,  ahistorical splendor, setting in motion a colonialist discourse which  exercises a very specific power in defining, coding and maintaining  existing first/third world connections.’

MC Mary Kom reminded me of Chandra Talpade Mohanty’s brilliant essay ‘Under Western Eyes’ challenging the stereotypical production of a homogenous ‘third world woman’. 
Good luck for the rest of the tournament, Mary!

GO INDIA GO!!!! GO MARY KOM, KICK THEIR ASSES!!!
