Suspending Feminist Judgment (original) (raw)

Boston Review, November 19 , 2018

Abstract

In this response, Aristarkhova shows how when reproductive technologies are concerned, "the personal will always trump the political. When facing “real” people with their “real” feelings, Emre wants us to suspend any (feminist or other) judgment. Because the private, like the body, is an unruly site for politics: as Emre’s subject B says, “for the possibility of this other kind of love, I will apparently do everything.” Indeed, when our own deep, uncontrollable, personal desires are concerned, we rarely act in line with whatever political choices we think should be made."
