i can’t believe the gorbachev pizza hut ad is a real thing that actually happened lmao

@packbat reading that had my jaw on the floor, i had no idea what the fuck these authors were on about

@packbat the idea is that gendering people with your eyes is a non-linguistic act, which............. somehow, the readers never even considered the interpretation that this could be called, reading,

from earlier:

In this section we move on to the ideas of an influential philosopher who has written about gender : Judith Butler. One of the novel and ambitious hypotheses put forward by Butler is that not only gender, but sex itself is a social construct.

she literally quotes other feminists for raising this idea oh my fucking god

The claim, by Butler, that sex can not be known about or, even exist,
prediscursively is testable.

oh no

An elegant study [Lederberg et al., 1986] proves conclusively that Butler is wrong. Were the Butler hypothesis true, deaf children would be unable to distinguish boys from girls.

WHAT

The researchers monitored deaf and hearing children aged 3 to 5 in terms of their preferences for same sex versus opposite sex playmates. The children were observed at playgroups and the time spent playing with same and opposite gender children was recorded. Both hearing and deaf children showed a clear preference for same sex play partners.

this disproves Butler how???????

shouting 

@melaniemoo haven't finished it yet, IT'S A PART ONE?????????

i am linking disapprovingly 

like whew for somebody advocating maoist dialectics he sure does want to completely ignore a lot of particularities in the contradictions at play here. yes i did just say something that obnoxious, shut up

you ever see a critique of idpol by proxy that is short and neither unique or nor not extremely oversimplifying of the contradictions at play, but somehow also extremely dense in how much of what was said could be Unpacked
