because major inconsistencies arise if you identify as one, and the org identifies as another. (or, to go further, if the org identifies as one but is REALLY basing their analysis on the other.)

the question should be:
is it possible to be both feminist and Marxist-Leninist without contradictions? And I would say, no, not without major revisions to one or the other.

What's the Master's Thesis?

Beneath Our Maria Claras reveal the lives of Filipinas as they attempt to undress layers of pre-colonial identities sewn by patterns of colonialism, imperialism, and patriarchy. For years, I have struggled to remove this garment and try to do what some colonized peoples have done, de-colonize myself and understand the social and historical conditions impacting my live. This blog/research follow my lines of thoughts and understanding while trying to understand: How do second generation Filipina American college students reclaim power that was denied to them culturally through gender?
