Eve’s Reviews > The Policing of Families > Status Update

omg i wish i had access to the french sources this book talks about!!!! like i need to distinguish a little bit more, let alone the era too!

so circa page #220 the gaze changed to that of the social worker due to sourcing from social worker pamphlets.

interesting, there's info about how this sort of infrastructure affected the overton window for childraising & free love in the 1950s/1960s

said journal is only at 4 french colleges.

i'll have to reread pages #190-203 later on

from circa pages #191 thru #203, it seems there's they're focusing on the Family part of SOFFA, schooling as "indoctrination", and how SOFFA use us as tools to talk about themselves. ... but actually, i'm not quite sure because i was looking up a journal that talks about horseshoe theory when it comes to nazi & soviet family structures, because the journal is from 1933-1937, but that's a loaded point.

paused at "voucher for social service" on page #182

pages 180-181 talk about "a state-directed feminism". and this was the sort of thing i craved as a trans girl/kid. like this is the basis for which my family history be the reason i am feminist & say my family is feminist. however, this book points out how it was a revisionist feminism instead of a revolutionary feminism, which clarifies the other problems

also i might've been a "maoist" when i was in 1st grade.

both of these were abolished in 1979. i still need to research, but wikipedia in french & then translated by google translate seems to argue it had to do with lack of teachers

so the IPES institut de preparation aux enseignements du second degre & CES college d'ensignement secondaire, are baccalaureate & paid positions for student-teachers respectively.

like the part about marie barone on "everybody loves raymond", it sounds like that's part of why parents want their kids to move out so quickly, get married so quickly, because they think they will gain housing from the kids, if they become a grandmother babysitting kids.. me & my sister broke this economic model/plan. (pages, 161-162 bullet points #2 & #3)

this feels like so much hidden knowledge about what my parents went thru. also it helps show how normal "family separations" at (fill in the blank) "the border" are
