  2. The Identity Politics of Masculinity as a Colonial Legacy

    "The #PreColonial #Indonesian notion of personhood diverges from a western conceptualisation and is expressed instead through #cooperation, #mutuality, #sharing, #caring, and a readiness to #negotiate and #compromise – all of which are characteristics that are associated with feminine qualities and were thus considered inferior according to #Eurocentric understandings of the #subordination of women in #WesternSociety"

    "[In this paper] I argue that a hierarchical structure between masculine and the feminine was introduced by the #Dutch #colonisers – a structure in which they considered themselves to represent the superior, masculine side of the binary, whereas the colonised were seen as their effeminate subjects."

    "In short: A native rewilding project on the #Tasmanian Bass Strait island of lungtalanana, or #ClarkeIsland, will see #wombats, #wallabies and #potoroos reintroduced to the landscape from next year.

    "The island has been managed by #TraditionalOwners as protected land since 2009.

    "What's next? #Landcare groups hope to eradicate feral cats from the island and are calling for increased funding from the federal government."
