Blaming the suffering as a failure of self care. Yes, Yes, Yes. You are helping me articulate what and why I have stepped on shards and cut the bottom of my feet, on. No choice to stop...Yeah I hear that onc can get a doctors permission. , No choice but to keep going, dammit. I want to give, but that is often theoretical,,,usually.
I did not see where anything said by Dr. Pooja Lakshmin or Tressie McMillan Cottom refuted anything Audre Lorde has written about self-care (as the online version linked to an article about Lorde and self-care). If anything - they seemed to amplify the whole self-care concept by adding a frame with 'values, boundaries, compassion & power.' Some of the same things Audre Lorde brought up - such as being able to say 'no' - were discussed by Laksmin and Cottom as if they were saying something new and different, and they were not. I do not associate the concept of self-care with radical feminism. And I wondered why the show was setting itself as being at odds with it. It sounded to me like two women making stuff up and attributing things to radical feminists that did not apply - and then pretending that the Queer theorists knew all about it. I think the fact checker and the audience strategist could both do better. In my opinion - they must have all been out to lunch - and not doing their job.
Totally agree and will add that I found it quit odd that the two felt that suffering is not part of the human condition regardless of the percent of melanin in one’s skin or genitalia between one’s legs. Suffering is the key to finding meaning regardless of heritable traits.
I’ve finished listening the episode after reading your comment. I have to say that I don’t think the two speakers, particularly the guest, have anything against Audre Lorde or radical feminism. On the contrary, I think what they’re talking about is precisely how we can build upon what these thinkers have proposed and reclaim self-care from the capitalist commercial system today.
I say, “learning to get comfortable with being uncomfortable” is one of the key tenet stuff of change.
I am so grateful for Ezra Klein's Show. Thank you.
I loved this podcast! It validates all the concerns that were niggling at me about the self-care industry. Thank you!
Thank you for this interview.
