Two dogmas of feminism

Abstract

In this paper, I will analyze two dogmatic feminist presuppositions. First, that women are the paradigmatic other, which means, that otherness is responsible for the exclusion or subordination of women. Second, that we are obliged to overcome or vindicate otherness. Taken as the only way out, these two possibilities lead to an impasse, that would explain the post-feminist turn.
