As American main-streamed feminists step in the Third World women's issues, they often ignore the grass-roots women's movement in the Third World and believe that they are the one who can and must deal with these issues in the name of "human rights" and "sisterhood." Their arrogant attitudes toward the Third World women bring a strong antipathy against American feminists because they are deeply connected with hegemony and post-colonialism. By explaining Hosken's and Walker's post-colonial perspective in FGM and Feminist Majority's disregard of RAWA, I analyze how logos-centrism and English imperialism support hegemony and postcolonialism in American main-streamed feminists. I'm also concerned about the globalization and unilateralism among American feminists. I attempt to find some answer/response in Women in Black groups to resist them. Women in Black stands in a public place in silent, non-violent vigils at regular times and intervals. It is a loose network of women world-wide committed to peace with justice and actively opposed to war and other forms of violence. It is not an organization, but a means of mobilization and a formula for action. The silence and their performance represent the resistance of logos-centrism and the possibility of transnational feminism.
