You can call me Master Mother
Yeah, so I just passed my thesis defense with no revisions besides technical ones (MLA citation formatting and margins for grad college requirements). And a one-page addition to my conclusion that spells out more of my point with mechanical reproduction and re-visioning the WEI.
It wasn't really that challenging. I thought I was gonna get lobbed all this stuff on Lacanian theory and Marxist economics but no one really wanted to go there, so I talked about the women and nature analytic and representational Other most of the time. I even shot Miranda down when she was trying to corner me into something. Bsically, she didn't read the last chapter of my thesis and was asking me about fundamental pros/cons of women and nature (basically, three different ways of, "What would be the harm in associating nature with femininity?") And I know exactly what I said:
"Well, I feel like you're trying to pin me down when I've clearly stated in my thesis that I wasn't going to make that argument part of my theory. It's kinda like when people at cocktail parties ask me why I'm a feminist and I just don't feel like it's my job to educate them about it, so if you have something else that you can follow up with outside of ecofeminist theory I'd be happy to try and address it."
Fuck you very much.
I feel like I rawk and like I have a little secret because I haven't talked to anyone and told them yet.
But yeah, I rawk.
