Women are caught ... walls of a dungeon."

The resolution asks us a question about the specifics of the criminal justice system, but this structural analysis is never genuine because it asks us to ignore the problems that exist within the system itself – the problems which result in complete failure within the system. Women are marginalized, and issues of race and class only intersect with other wires in the birdcage to exacerbate gender issues. Rights and justice in this joke of an institution have always been denied based on identity, and marginalization means that groups are never able to effectively influence policy for reform. The nature of the criminal justice system is a prior question to the debate they want to have.

In the context of the resolution, these harms are perpetuated through  a standard to judge a woman’s conduct as good or bad, based on stereotypes, informing social spaces and recreating violent knowledge.

Advocacy means empowerment, and discourse can affirm “rights”, but must focus on entitlement rather than permission from some patriarchal figure standing above the group that rises up. The demand for rights in any social or political space is synonymous to a demand to be taken seriously.

in each of these areas, just the fact that women are in court and are being heard -- sometimes, at least -- in a different voice makes a difference. 212

Thus, I advocate that as a prerequisite to evaluating any specific of the criminal justice system, the judge and all in the room must first “take a metaphorical step back” to see all the wires of the bird cage and recognize the demand of the female body to claim the discourse of rights, shattering the wires which keep her locked inside

To understand the way in which these violent policies affect black women, we must start with the image of the matriarch which characterizes black womanhood. She is too powerful and assertive, so she does not receive protection from the system, which only protects women that can be portrayed as victims. This image also legitimizes black poverty, a cause of higher rates of incarceration, allowing claims of institutional racism to be dismissed, since the blame is shifted onto black women.

Like the mammy, the image of the matriarch is central to intersecting oppressions  of class,

submissive mammies in one setting, then are  stigmatized again as matriarchs for being strong figures in their own homes.

I refuse to affirm the resolution. In asking us to evaluate the specifics the hypothetical policies of “developing countries”, it asks us to position ourselves towards countries which develop differently than our own in a violent way. I refuse to be a part of that violence, which infantilizes and delegitimizes the experiences of any member of the global South, because We always know what’s best, because We’re the enlightened ones, and so we have nothing to learn from interactions with them, and that’s messed up

Wood Cynthia A. PhD in economics w/ focus on critical development studies, gender equity, sustainable development in Latin America, alternative approaches to economics, and postcolonial feminist theory. “Authorizing Gender and Development: “Third World Women,” Native Informants, and Speaking Nearby”. 2001.

Representations of women in development theory and practice have been a particular focus of postcolonial and postmodern feminist critics.
AND
Gayatri Spivak (1999, 284) suggests, of "white women saving brown women from brown men."

This is the violence which asserts that veiled females are less of people, since we know more and better than them and therefore have the right to regulate bodies; this is the violence that views itself as an enlightening force existing for the female bodies of the global South to teach them of their own oppression, because they are unable to liberate themselves or even identify systematic patterns of oppression where they exist. It speaks for them, because it always knows better than them. It masks itself as benevolence, so it presents itself as unchallengeable, and this is exactly the problem.

I refuse to affirm the resolution. The discourse of development within the resolution is used to separate the “developed” Western world from the “developing Third World.” The same way in which this violence is perpetuated on the international level, it exists within nations when different groups of peoples are marked as “developing” and defined as inferior and culturally backwards, I experience this violence in my own country, Israel, because I am Mizrahi, an Eastern Jew, different from the Ashkenazi, European Jew, and so am always other within my own society. When my grandmother’s family moved to Israel it took over 10 years before they got a telephone. Wonder why.

The articulation of social difference from the perspective of a marginalized person has the effect of resignification of the representations and stereotypes that surround Mizrahi femininity or the social group of Mizrahiyut, and allows for an intersectional approach that avoids the violence and identity erasure of binaries such as the “developed”-“developing” divide

I advocate the affirmation of the Mizrahi female body through the resignification and reconstruction of histories and the aspects that make up identity

To borrow from bell hooks, stereotypes and images do not follow from reality, but instead existed in the imagination of the dominant group and then reality forcibly followed what was written. Like black women deal with the image of the mammy and the loud, obnoxious woman, we deal with the sexually loose Moroccan “freikha”, the submissive Yemenite “tziona”, the Oriental welfare mother, abused by her father, and the Mizrahi street prostitute that plague Israeli media. The advocacy is a call for Mizrahi women to talk about our own experiences and redefine Mizrahi femininity based on our culture and history as articulated by us.
