“WE WERE HAVING SEX” SOUNDS SO WEIRD
WHY IS SEX SOMETHING YOU HAVE? IT ISN’T REALLY SOMETHING YOU HAVE
WHY IS THIS SO WEIRD & CREEPY? I NEVER WANT THOSE WORDS IN MY MOUTH AGAIN.
SHOULDN’T IT BE “DOING SEX”? SEX IS SOMETHING YOU DO, RIGHT?
“DURING SEX”

COUNTEREVIDENCE
“Empiricism, because it takes its evidence from the existing order of things, is inherently prone to accepting as realities things that are merely evidence of underlying biases and ideological pressures. Empiricism […] will always confirm the status quo. [Marx] would have particularly disliked the modern tendency to argue from ‘facts’, as if those facts were neutral chunks of reality,...

I WROTE A THING FOR A FRIEND
Wyatt Gnarleene’s work explores the rich legacy of growing up queer on the internet in a Southern town of less than 3000 people. From the hyperspectacular techne of the web, to the multiplicity of the burgeoning metropolis, to the seclusion of the private, lonely bedroom, nothing is alien to him— but at the same time, home is nowhere to be found. Wyatt’s work arises from her...

FORECLOSURE OF THE NATIVE INFORMANT
re: this
”[…]And I have learned here that theoretical capital plays by the same rules as all of the other kinds. In her book A Critique of Postcolonial Reason, Gayatri Spivak explains something called the “foreclosure of the native informant”, which is basically the process by which the experiences of oppressed people become unbelievable, impossible, worthless and invisible to the...

Anonymous asked: I don't really understand what you have against men's groups. If men don't confront their own complicity within patriarchy, patriarchy will survive much longer. Perhaps the fishbowl model tokenized your trans* identity, perhaps the house cleaning was a little ridiculous.... but your vitriol is ridiculous. If women, trans* folk, POC or whatever other marginalized identity had a group...

marc4marc: This is upsetting to me. It is upsetting to me because of this part:
d) oh, and there should be ritual gay sex too. maybe you have to get fucked by your sponsor or something.
As if homosexual acts are somehow inherently corrosive to patriarchy. Or—and this is the more dangerous read—as if they are inherently humiliating to masculinity. As if this isn’t essentially a “fun way” to use...
