This type of theorizing, as black feminist bell hooks points out, rests problematically upon the assumption of a shared and essentialised gender. From her race-critical perspective, hooks troubles the classification 'woman' on the grounds that not all women are marginalised in the same way or to the same degree.
These two stand in the text together.
Thanks

I've never personally read bell hooks, but I am familiar with her theory. She means that many other theories of feminism rest on this universal notion that all women experience the same problems in a patriarchal society. However, race is a very large issue (as evidenced with how NOW was perceived as a white woman's country club rather than open to all feminists). Since not all women are treated the same, in this case black women and other minorities are treated even more harshly than white women.

we attempt very not shopper-friendly to not take something out of context. in actuality, our translation of the Bible has been independantly named between the main substantial precise translations. there are different books (not written by Jehovah's Witnesses) including "actuality in Translation" and others that examine translations of the Bible and characteristic given our translation great comments. additionally, it extremely is translated from the oldest texts attainable - the closest ones to the originals, that are in Italy. If it extremely is approximately our use of the call Jehovah, I extremely have in my opinion seen the ineffective Sea Scrolls (the oldest Biblical texts easy to guy as nicely the originals that are supposedly stored indoors the Vatican - and the tetragrammaton and a stunning till now paleo-hebraic rendering of the tetregrammaton have been there indoors the scrolls. The tetregrammaton (YHWH) is the region Jehovah comes from - it extremely is the English translation of YHWH. we haven't any extra chapters, books, or verses in our Bibles than each guy or woman else does in theirs. And we actually do carry on with the Bible as much as humanly achievable. listed under are some examples: Acts 15:28-29, "Abstain from Blood" it extremely is echoed for the time of the Bible (Leviticus 17:11, Deuteronomy 12:23, etc.) And Luke 22:19 which says to commerate Jesus' dying which we do on Nisan 14 of the Jewish Calender each three hundred and sixty 5 days. we don't use idols or collectible figurines or statues in our worship (John 4:24, one million John 5:21, Deutoronomy 4:sixteen - 20) in case you're able to desire to grant an social gathering of a few factor that seems taken out of context, it could actually help. :-)

What she is trying to say i that not all women should be classified as women. Women share characteristics that others of different genders have. When it says "from her race-critical perspective" she means that women of different races have different qualities and these qualties are not feminine. At least that's what I think.

she's saying that the problem is people assuming that gender(men or women) being equal is an assumption....she looks at the situation through a racial stand point...she's saying that women and men are to be equal but yet women aren't equal because for example blk women and white women aren't considered equal....i think...sorry thats what im understanding...hope this was helpful

theretically speaking, a black femininst points out, the classification of 'woman', that not all women are the same or equal in all things pertaining to the broad scope of society.
That is my stab at it without reading several paragraphs prior and after to get a better meaning of what is being said...

Aside from the other explanations, I can not credit any piece that uses essential as a verb. What she is saying is banal and could have been written more simply, so that you would have understood it easily.

to me it would mean that women are not only stereotyped on their gender but also depending on what race they are they are further stereotyped.
