After reading both “Feminist Standpoint Theory” in the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy and Wikipedia’s statement on “Neutral Point of View (NPOV)” consider the following questions:

• Is it possible to keep your standpoint AND remain neutral?
• Can you “begin with the lives of the marginalized” and be neutral? Why or why not?
• Is neutrality problematic for WGS? Why?
• How has remaining neutral silenced you or ignored your lived experience?
