Hey, I might be in Sydney for a day at the end of November. Think you'll be free for lunch?

Hurrah! My best friend has her graduate show over the next month, and I want to see the work she's been talking about for the last six months.

I'd invite you to come along, but the work related to a thesis regarding derrida and jean luc nancy, so I suspect you might not be interested.

Herrrooow!

I believe we were talking about something in the Feminists group when my account expired. I have no idea what it was, but I bet I could throw some Judith Butler at it now.

Send me contact details for planning purposes!

Always willing to throw down with you, friend. You keep me sharp. My opinions are shifty with all the new information. It's an unsettling process. I want a security of knowledge that I know (because I read Zizek!) that is impossible.


Per your slut discussion, though I do think the things you said about female sexuality are on some level true, this is a constructed entity. A cultural dominant? Sure. But to assert some sort of "natural" difference would be incorrect.

I'm not sure if you're being serious or not, but I'm saying it's "incorrect" to to assume some sort of material sexual difference in women that creates the social situations you discuss (madonna/whore, fear of sexualized girls, etc.). That difference is constructed, and its products (eg, venerance of childbirth, the female over the male form, the fear of the sexuality of girls) are constructed. Also, it leaves an infinite amount of overdetermined possibilities that don't fit in to what it means to be a "girl" or a "boy" or a "slut" or whatever.

You are so wise in the ways of the world.

Oh yeah... free compliments anytime!

*nods vigorously*

Emu's are far cuter!

Long time no see! Or whatever.

What kills me about grading is when they do awful. Especially when they don't HAVE to be doing awful.

haha. I think he means I'm difficult to define. I'm not a lion or a goat or a serpent. But hey, at least he didn't say I was a man-bear-pig!

Hope you had a fun halloween xo
