Ferree and Tripp

In the beginning of Ferree and Tripp’s book they say on page 8 that “it is also a meaningful question to ask how feminism contributes to creating and expanding social movements, including women’s movements.” How does feminism do this? Isn’t this an important thing to understand as a feminist in today’s world?
I was curious what globalization was before I started reading and my query was answered on page 9. “Globalization is made concretely meaningful by seeing it as a process that increases the importance and level of integration of transnational political structures.”
Through my other feminist courses I learned a lot about mapping my social location and the intersectionality of oppressions. On page 10 it gives a view of the intersectionality of social movements as “characterizing them and shapes how they position themselves in the transnational arena in which they operate. Intersectionality means privilege and oppression, and movements to defend and combat these relations, are not in fact singular… these multiple social locations re often—not, as is often assumed, atypically—contradictory. Organizations as well as individuals hold multiple positions in regard to social relations of power and injustice, and typically enjoy privilege on some dimensions even while they struggle with oppression on another.” It is interesting to me how we can constantly be privileged and oppressed simultaneously. How do you think this type of contradiction affects you in your everyday life?
