@article{oai:chuo-u.repo.nii.ac.jp:00012052, author = {DALE, Catherine}, journal = {総合政策研究, Japanese Journal of Policy and Culture}, month = {Mar}, note = {application/pdf, In this article, I investigate a recently resurfaced use of lady in feminist language. I explore what this reappearance of lady might tell us about what Angela McRobbie calls feminism’s comeback in the Anglophone West and whether it is problematically intertwined with feminism. I focus on the contemporary use of the term lady, which after a period of being deemed an out of date, patronising exceptionalism, is back in use in everyday language and on social media. I ask whether the term lady has become diluted, rather than flattened, of its sexist connotations, and whether this new use of lady among feminists is an attempt to amend feminism by locating an element of femininity. I also explore what might be other positive uses of lady, for example, in relation to trans and non-binary people, to see whether, despite its problematic associations, it might be worth hanging onto after all.}, pages = {71--83}, title = {“We’re not the Ladies”:The Question of Lady in 21st Century Feminist Parlay}, volume = {28}, year = {2020} }
