    Don’t Give Up! Don’t Give In!” Gender in International Relations and “Curious” Feminist Questions
    (2019) Akça Ataç, Cemile; Köprülü, Nur; 17826; 03.05. Siyaset Bilimi ve Uluslararası İlişkiler; 03. İktisadi ve İdari Birimler Fakültesi; 01. Çankaya Üniversitesi
    In her recent book published after the election of Donald Trump as the US President in 2016, Cynthia Enloe argues that the patriarchy, similar to our smart phones, has updated itself as a reaction against the achievements of the second and third wave feminisms. The updated patriarchy has this time renewed itself through the beliefs and values about the ways the world works (2017). The competing foreign policies representing the hypermasculine hegemonic masculinity of the current world politics and its authoritarian leaders are the outputs of this new updated version of patriarchy. Enloe doubts that having gained sustainability with its updates, the patriarchy could be fought against simply with street demonstrations, as it was before. The patriarchy could be forced to retreat only by incessantly asking “curious” feminist questions that would expose all masculine patterns of life (2017). Continuously asking questions without giving up or giving in would make the patriarchy transparent and vulnerable. In the face of curious, non-stop questions from a gender perspective and the conscious use of the terms supporting gender equality, the patriarchy, albeit updated and sustained, does not stand a chance.

    Truth, Truth-telling and Gender in Politics: The "Hillary" Experience
    (European Assoc Amer Studies, 2019) Akça Ataç, Cemile; 17826; 03.05. Siyaset Bilimi ve Uluslararası İlişkiler; 03. İktisadi ve İdari Birimler Fakültesi; 01. Çankaya Üniversitesi
    Among the highest goals to be achieved by political feminism, a female US president has held an elusive but prominent place. Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign, which coincided with Wonder Woman's new post as the United Nations ambassador, has been the closest moment for this goal to be achieved. Clinton's inattention to truth-telling, the email interrogation pursued by the FBI against her and her failure to win the election, however, have in part resulted in the passing of that moment. This study, on this account, probes Hillary Clinton's candidacy for president in terms of women's historical relation with truth-telling and feminist standpoint. It argues that if Clinton had been more committed to the truth-telling principles and practices, her presidential campaign would have been a substantial contribution to historical and political feminism.
