This way Mikkola aims to circumvent the thorny problems of debates around ontological commitments of gender terms and identity categories, while at the same time offering a sense in which feminism is both for everyone and for women in particular. Involving comments by Esa Díaz León, Katharine Jenkins, and Christine Bratu, the workshop aims at a constructive and critical discussion of crucial steps in Mikkola’s argument.
