ive come up with a new theory of gender. this is why judith butler is wrong. gender is NOT a performance, because to call it a performance is to presume that there is a Self, something which PRECEDES gender and then PERFORMS gender. in fact, there is no such Self: we are, each of us, constituted THROUGH and BY gendered relations—relations which precede US; relations which set the stage and context into which we emerge AS selves, as individuals. so in fact it is not that gender is a performance, but that WE, our lives and experiences as individuated beings, are ourselves being performed in no small part BY and THROUGH a system of gender without which we could not begin to conceive of ourselves, much less the world.
what we’ve been discussing is starting advent with the lighting of the first candle on the fifth sunday before new years, maintaining a twelve day yuletide from the lighting of the fifth candle on the final sunday thru to the second following thursday (twelfth night), and then celebrating kings day on the following day
this is different from the christian kings day but we don't care about epiphany we just want the tasty cake
