To trace the political operations that produce and conceal what qualifies as the juridical subject of feminism is precisely the task of a feminist genealogy of the category of women
In order to track the politics involved (By the government or related administration) in what should be and should not be taken to the justice system in the country as part of feminism (equal rights for women) is specifically the task of the category of women who have feminism as the root of their ancestry (influences).
In the course of this effort to question “women” as the subject of feminism, the unproblematic invocation of that category may prove to preclude the possibility of feminism as a representational politics.
By making women as the only people for whom feminism is going to bring about a change, it (use of the women-only term) makes it impossible to bring up feminism as part of political representations.
..If the formation of the subject takes place within a field of power regularly buried through the assertion of that foundation.
It is possible to represent feminism objectively as part of politics only if there is no mention of women only getting benefitted or affected by it. The inclusion of women-centric terms takes the focus away from feminism and puts it on women by politicizing the need for equal rights rather than talking about the rights itself.
