I find Wilchins chapter on "Can Sex Have Opposites" extremely confusing. I have always associated gender and sex as two different things- sex is biological and gender is a type of expression. While reading this chapter Wilchins doesn't once make that distinction. I greatly appreciate the arguments they make I would rather see the binary of sex as one thing and gender as another.

Which makes my confusion deepen because I then have my hatred of binaries pop up which I believe was Wilchins goal. Sex as a biological idea and gender as a way of expressing social norms associated with sex makes discussing the two so much easier. 

What is sex then? If it's not the biology then what does it encompass? I like to believe it is all things gendered, whether that be biological or socially constructed. And by biological I mean the idea that a penis is male and a vagina is female, which isn't that something humans have labeled with language over the many years?

How Wednesday Addams Would React To Catcalling

Don’t tell Wednesday Addams to smile.In a new episode from the web series “Adult Wednesday Addams,” created by Melissa Hunter, Wednesday follows two dudes home to teach them a lesson after they catcall her. In true Addams family fashion, Wednesday effortlessly scares the men with her piercing tone and sardonic comebacks. (And the three terrifying friends she brought with her definitely helps.)

Watch the full video here and see the catcallers get some of their own medicine.

feminazi my ass

[aruddle-blog]

I know #feminazi only came up once or twice in our classes but this just absolutely blows my mind. 

If men are passionate about a particular thing (sports, and yes I'm being stereotypical) they're called a "fan" a "fanatic" they're passionate for something. Let them have a "guys night".

Now if I'm passionate about rape culture on campus I'm "sexist", "controversial", and my favorite "feminazi"

I at first wanted to talk about how men get left out of feminism but I can not think of a term for it because "meninazi" just doesn't roll off the tongue quite as well.

"Inspiration porn… I use the term deliberately because they objectify one group for the benefit of another."

Abled bodies finding inspiration in disability as though it’s courageous to live with it. Multi-issue organizations are sadly few and far between. Organizations push one single agenda and often don’t take into count other activist fighting for similar things (i.e. Disability activist in institutions v. prison activist)

This video helps me make sense of #intersectionality AND #privilege because the three women are able to, in a relatively short work, passionately and authentically engage their audience on the importance of examining the world simultaneously through multiple lenses AND, by doing so, one cannot help but be confronted with how most of us enjoy one or more privileged identities or positions.
