i've had too much gender theory. i've heard that before. if i were a professor, assigning extra credit points, i would give two points to guitarista for knowing the classical answer, 1 point to matt for attributing explanations for gender bending to fear but not using it as a a call to revolution, 3 points on the lab for tim, hopes to see a reflection paper from becky, a smile to rae for standing up in class and asking the question... and beth, who has the most classical training in gender, wouldn't need any extra credit points anyway, but i still admire her cynicism.
i'd like to see this post phrased in lesbian terms. "going femme is the butchest thing you can do." I like it because the same people who argue that masculine/feminine divide should be less divided argue that lesbians are butch or femme, and that's just how they are. so are we supposed to break down all stereotypes, even the ones that are a response to oppression? I think so...says the west coast granola dyke wearing a tie-dyed tank, no bra, corduroys several sizes too large, sunglasses, birkenstocks, and a hemp back pack full of vegan propaganda buttons...
