“…The disabled are not only de-valued for their devalued bodies (Hannaford, 1985), they are constant reminders to the able-bodied of the negative body-of what the ablebodied are trying to avoid, forget and ignore.'' Disability theorists (e.g., Banks, 2010) emphasize the socially constructed nature of disability, namely, that it arises from the interaction between bodies (and embodied differences) and an unaccommodating physical and social environment. Although many women post-mastectomy will face minimal, if any, functional impairment, disability theory's challenge to notions of the ''normal'' body make it particularly useful for understanding the experiences of women who have undergone mastectomy for breast cancer.…”

Feminist scholars and activists writing about breast cancer care among women have highlighted the sexist and heterosexist assumptions often embedded in the medical management of breast cancer, and of mastectomy in particular. Despite these contributions, and some speculation that sexual minority women may be less interested in breast reconstruction, limited research explores sexual minority women's lived experience of mastectomy and decision making about reconstruction. Thirteen lesbian and/or bisexual women who had undergone mastectomy for treatment of breast cancer participated in individual qualitative interviews exploring decisions to have, or not have, breast reconstruction. Reasons for/against reconstruction reflected themes identified in prior studies among heterosexual women. Although participants described sexual, gender, and political identities and orientations as influences on their decision making, for most participants, experiences with physicians who encouraged reconstruction and concerns about stigmatization of illness in romantic, professional, and social contexts were also central. Findings are interpreted through feminist dis/ability, medicalization, and existential frameworks.

“…Both of these web sites also display their hashtags using capital letters to mark individual words (#WomenAlsoKnowStuff #CiteBlackWomen, #CiteBlackWomenSundays). This hashtag format is crucial for any person who is accessing the internet with a screen reader (Cahalane, 2018), as another important feminist goal should be to make one’s work as accessible as possible to persons with disabilities (cf., Martha Banks’s APA Division 35 presidential address on feminist psychology and disabilities, 2010).…”

The history of the women’s movements and women’s involvement in civic causes and actions shows that commitment to women’s causes is no guarantee that other human rights issues will be supported. Instances of racism and other prejudices that have impacted women’s groups in the United States will be used to illustrate the contradiction, and corollary patterns from the present will be used to show that the disconnect between promoting women’s causes and other pressing human rights issues remains. I will use the exemplar of citation practices as one aspect of contemporary professional behavior that may contribute to the ongoing invisibility of accomplishments by women and scholars of color of any gender. I will also demonstrate some tools that, combined with better self-awareness, can improve the visibility of all members of underrepresented groups. The challenge we face is to convert awareness of the complex intersections between gender and racial issues into the application of feminist values across the full spectrum of human experience.

“…In Indonesia, society as a whole should have a notion of gender based on the curriculum they have been exposed to since they began school, and this knowledge has created the basis for character development (Sociology of Religion Curriculum, n.d.). For instance, Banks (2010) states that gender roles are performed via the execution of certain tasks. Characters may be imparted via the educational process at school, the learning process (Kanji et al, 2019;Suardi et al, 2019), and it can be combined with local knowledge through social cooperation models (Suardi, Agustang, & Sahabuddin, 2020).…”

The study on symbolic violence against women is limited. There is still a significant degree of suspicion and stigma in society around the notion that women are weak and helpless compared to men and that women are continually the victims of patriarchal symbolic violence in terms of language, social economics, and others. This research aims to investigate how and why symbolic violence is performed against women in patriarchal cultures, the kinds of symbolic violence against women, the determinants of symbolic violence in this instance, and the effects of linguistic-symbolic violence on women in Medan Tembung. This qualitative research included seven individuals between the ages of 15 and 35. Observations and interviews were employed to collect data for this investigation. The acquired data was then examined using sociological methodologies to disclose the field phenomena and interview outcomes precisely. Furthermore, this research employs the theory of Pierre Bourdieu to comprehend symbolic violence in society. This study's results demonstrate that symbolic violence persists in society, particularly in meetings and in the form of language. The results of this research support this concept by providing evidence of symbolic violence in the form of language or particular terminology that women are not permitted to use, although males are permitted to do so, and which seem to be prevalent in daily life.
