Feminist Rage: Countering Sexual Violence and Sexual Humiliation

This essay argues that feminist rage counters sexual humiliation resulting from sexual violence, as well as the gendered power relations that give rise to and legitimize such violence and humiliation. It begins by showing that sexual humiliation manifests within women’s self-relation in ways that inhibit their countering of oppressive, normalizing gendered power relations; normalization here is understood in the Foucauldian sense of the simultaneity of enablement and constraint, with the latter overshadowing the former in complex and nontransparent ways. The analysis proceeds by presenting rage as an affect and, thus, a manifestation of the self-relation that points to, opposes, and facilitates countering of gendered power. Next, it shows that due to its counternormalizing, counteroppressive character, women’s rage is suppressed. Whereas sexual violence reinforces this suppression in all women, sexual humiliation redoubles it in victims/survivors. The final section of the essay shows that suppressing the counternormalizing, counteroppressive potential of women’s rage does not eradicate it. Cultivating a feminist consciousness can redeploy counternormalizing and counterhumiliating potential in the form of a feminist rage that challenges gendered power, sexual violence, and sexual humiliation. The analysis thus illustrates that expressions of feminist rage are crucial for both individual victim/survivors and more broadly within feminist anti–sexual violence protest and resistance.

女权主义愤怒:打击性暴力和性羞辱

本文认为,女权主义的愤怒与性暴力导致的性羞辱以及导致这种暴力和羞辱并使这种暴力和羞辱合法化的性别权力关系相抗衡。它首先表明,性羞辱体现在女性的自我关系中,以抑制她们抵制压迫性、正常化的性别权力关系的方式;这里的规范化被理解为福柯式的授权和约束同时的意义,后者以复杂和不透明的方式掩盖了前者。分析通过将愤怒呈现为一种情感,因此,它是指向、反对和促进对抗性别权力的自我关系的一种表现。其次,它表明,由于其反常态化、反压迫性,女性的愤怒受到了压制。性暴力强化了所有女性的这种压制,而性羞辱在受害者/幸存者身上加倍。文章的最后一部分表明,压制女性愤怒的反常态化、反压迫潜力并不能根除它。培养女权主义意识可以以挑战性别权力、性暴力和性羞辱的女权主义愤怒的形式重新部署反常态化和反羞辱的潜力。因此,分析表明,女权主义愤怒的表达对个体受害者/幸存者以及更广泛的女权主义反性暴力抗议和抵抗都至关重要。女性愤怒的反压迫潜力并没有根除它。培养女权主义意识可以以挑战性别权力、性暴力和性羞辱的女权主义愤怒的形式重新部署反常态化和反羞辱的潜力。因此,分析表明,女权主义愤怒的表达对个体受害者/幸存者以及更广泛的女权主义反性暴力抗议和抵抗都至关重要。女性愤怒的反压迫潜力并没有根除它。培养女权主义意识可以以挑战性别权力、性暴力和性羞辱的女权主义愤怒的形式重新部署反常态化和反羞辱的潜力。因此,分析表明,女权主义愤怒的表达对个体受害者/幸存者以及更广泛的女权主义反性暴力抗议和抵抗都至关重要。
