Bugger Discourse
May. 1st, 2009 08:42 pmA sure sign of an Oslo summer is a smokey haze around the parks when the clock approaches 9 pm.
I feel like such a cliché, reading for my introductory philosophy course, with mozart playing in the background, sipping wine on the terrace. It's a lovely cliché to live, though.
I've identified my problem with feminism, and to some extent queer theory. They are such arrogant, whiny bitche. They ignore that their field exists thanks to the work of those men they loathe. Yes, they did a lot of stupid things, but they are the reason you can survive, doing nothing, in academia.
Do they ever take a break? The feminist project must go on, I suppose, cost what it may. I'm fine with identifying the problem, but whining about it in book after book after book, thesis after thesis does nothing productive. Feminist discourse will not change discourse by attacking 'mainstream' discourse. It will change the world by making an example, accompanied by their theories. Practice what you preach. Do not just whine about what other writers and thinkers do. Gods, I hate postmodern feminist discourse.
