@Eden@weirder.earth @distel the works that termed woman with a stable definition would be all of white male philosophy since Plato; c.f. in particular the notion of the “Eternal Feminine” (look it up on Wikipedia)

the work which first challenged that definition would probably be “The Second Sex” by Simone du Beauvoir, which made the case that if womanness were inherent, a DFAB person acting “unwomanly” would be paradoxical. DFAB people are called unwomanly all the time, ergo womanhood is not inherent to “the female sex”, ergo the destabilizing of the concept of “woman” and what is popularly termed the sex/gender split of second-wave feminism

(Butler will go on to complicate the idea that sex is a stable category either, but it is taken as generally understood at this point that gender isn’t. “Stable” here can be read as “natural” or “biological” because anything which is socially-constructed necessarily will change with society.)

on the one hand i’m like, “why would samus cut off her dick? she was raised by birds!”, but on the other hand i’m like “why WOULDN’T samus cut off her dick?! she was raised by BIRDS!!”

« Incels reject accepted understandings of hierarchies of oppression (Sidanius and Pratto, 1999), instead arguing that society is fundamentally hierarchised along sex and attractiveness lines, which favour women and exclude typically unattractive men from romantic or sexual relationships (Baele, et al., 2021). » man i feel like i saw this exact take on this social media site

@Eden@weirder.earth @distel i haven't read Gender Trouble (yet) but do have a degree in gender studies and probably could shed light on what it means (we usually just read more contemporary Butler)

normally i would not bother making these posts but i have already seen like two discourse threads on this topic and it’s only the fourth y’all

maybe a bespectacled holiday figured as an exceptional event is not and cannot be a substitute for the mundane and regenerative practices of everyday organizing

maybe the problem isn't coming up with the right combination of magic words to litigate who exactly you want to see participating in your event but actually a commodified event structure itself which encourages and facilitates participation by people who don't belong there while at the same time alienating those who do

happy to dodge all this pride discourse by simply not participating in pride
