on love or in love




"Men theorize about love, but women are more often love's practitioners. Most men feel that they receive love and therefore know what it feels like to be loved; women often feel we are in a constant state of yearning, wanting love but not receiving it."


--Bell Hooks, all about love











後記
●我深深感覺到,身為一位女性學者與社會運動者,Bell Hooks是一位特別致力從經驗出發而邁向理性論述的作者,他對自我經驗的珍視與分析能力,不但是主體開啟「自覺」的關鍵,在女性主義被「理論化」(男性化)的學術場域中顯得獨樹一幟,保有著自我批判與踰越二元論的視野。

●Bell Hooks這段話還讓我聯想到以前看過的一張照片(右圖),出自《女性研究自學讀本》(Joy Magezis著,何穎怡譯),汽車廣告看板上寫著:「如果這輛車是個女人,你也會想捏一下它的屁股」,抗議者卻漆上:「如果這輛車是個女人,她會碾斃你」還以顏色。
