If you’re in a women’s studies, gender studies, or queer studies class and everything is poststructuralist and wrong I recommend writing your papers and responses with these references:
Queer Theory and Social Change, Max H. Kirsch
Nothing Mat(t)ers: A Feminist Critique of Postmodernism, Somer Brodribb
Reclaiming Identity: Realist Theory and the Predicament of Postmodernism, Paula M.L. Moya
Learning From Experience: Minority Identities, Multicultural Struggles, Paula M.L. Moya
and the article Being Lovingly, Knowingly Ignorant: White Feminism and Women of Color by Mariana Ortega is a good reference for anyone having Donna Haraway or Judith Butler or the like shoved down their throat
Someone (I wish I could remember who to credit them) recently provided Martha Nussbaum’s “The Professor of Parody,” which is a direct response to Butler as well.
Some else (again, I wish I could remember who to credit them) also recently provided a link to “After Postmodernism: Feminism and Marxism revisited” by Gillian Howie, who was (RIP) a Marxist feminist, so she obviously had a materialist lens.
