Queer Theory & Futurism

[alice wellintown]

The lament for the paved paradise, for the chances for spontaneous
fortune wheels of fogs turning and turning as seasons and painted
ponies now slouching toward Nixonland to be borne on the backs of
laborers betrayed by their brethren, P's dirge is muted by the
cacophony of the sex wars and race wars and wars wars wars. Then and
Eye for and I. And a Me. And a Mine. No one frightened of playing it.
The wheel of fortune turned by a lady on the Tube. Meet the New Boss!
A New Kind of Feminism is Born!

'Female Chauvinist Pigs': Girls Gone Wild

Our popular culture, she argues, has embraced a model of female
sexuality that comes straight from pornography and strip clubs, in
which the woman's job is to excite and titillate - to perform for men.
According to Levy, women have bought into this by altering their
bodies surgically and cosmetically, and - more insidiously - by
confusing sexual power with power, so that embracing this caricaturish
form of sexuality becomes, in their minds, a perverse kind of
feminism.
