Abstract:In 2021, startup companies raised $1.9 billion for what entrepreneur Ida Tin calls FemTech, or digital tools designed to promote women’s health including medical wearables, diagnostic kits, and self-tracking apps. Not only is FemTech a booming industry, but it is touted as an innovative, feminist corrective for how biomedical devices have traditionally been designed with a male body in mind. Two such FemTech products are LOONCUP, the world’s first “smart” menstrual cup, and EverlyWell’s line of home-health tests. Rooted in the neoliberal logic of personal responsibility and individual self-mastery, these products purport to empower women by giving them tools to manage their health but, in fact, work by enlisting them to place their bodies under corporate surveillance. By drawing parallels to the 20th century FemCare industry, I show how today’s FemTech companies entice customers by offering new, technological solutions to female body management that promise greater convenience and entry into elusive, upper-middle class lifestyles. Through their marketing they co-opt feminist slogans to sell women’s health products, replacing intersectional feminist critique with neoliberal commodity feminism. Then, when customers use these products, their subjective evaluation of their health is replaced with numerical data (despite questionable accuracy) which is subsequently entered into for-profit databank. This misuse of medical technology is not, however, inevitable. In the final section, I offer a feminist framework for reimagining the FemTech industry by allowing product development to emerge from the daily needs of women, prioritizing outward-facing technologies that conceive of health as environmental and collective, replacing built-in goals with open-ended modeling, and engaging in feminist data practices which emphasize user privacy and the democratization of knowledge.

Abstract:The goal of this paper is to compare two exclusionary discourses with an essential role within Polish ethnic nationalism: anti-Semitism and homophobia. Samples of the former are taken from the 1930s, while examples of the latter are taken from 2004, the year of Poland’s EU accession when a new wave of culture wars centered around LGBT issues was taking off. The analysis reveals the underlying structure of both discourses and thus aims to decipher their function in the construction of a particular version of national identity, wherein ethnic and gendered aspects of the nation are mutually implicated. Jews and/or gay people are construed as the „threatening other” within the matrix of exclusion that represents them as conspirators against the nation’s sovereignty, corruptors of the youth, and pariahs, who can be rightfully discriminated against.

Abstract:Drawing on feminist and queer disability studies methods, this article explores a print archive of disabled lesbian communities through newsletters such as Dykes, Disability & Stuff, and Hikané: The Capable Womon. These publications decentered a lesbian-feminist activism that excluded those who could not protest in public and attend lesbian events in inaccessible spaces. Swapping DIY access technologies, dating stories, and new modes of protest, they forged a print collectivity that cripped narratives of lesbian life. This essay homes in on three major themes that emerge across lesbian print cultures in the late twentieth century. I first discuss the tensions surrounding disability and labor in lesbian land movements, next the ableist elevation of “strength” in disabled and nondisabled lesbian cultures alike, particularly as they pertain to sexual expectations, and I conclude with a discussion of how disabled lesbians of color navigated the terrain between white disability communities and white nondisabled lesbian culture, as well as carceral surveillance. By looking to these queer critiques of ableism, we can understand how they foreground the current fields of crip theory and crip of color critique, and furthermore situate them within a longer genealogy of cripqueer and disability justice organizing.
