I still don’t think female and male are opposite sexes. They are definitely two different, distinct sexes. That’s biology. But opposite? That’s cultural. That’s patriarchal. That’s an interpretation of facts, facts arranged into a hierarchy and forced into dualisms. To call female and male opposites is to gender biology. It reeks of Descartian and Freudian thought, but it has as little to do with reality as the trope that somehow positions cats and dogs as each others’ opposites.

probably one of the most insightful things I’ve ever read on this site.

“In Jewish thought, a sin is not an offense against God, an act of disobedience. A sin is a missed opportunity to act humanly. The verb to sin in Hebrew is also used in the sense of ‘missing the target.’ When God created us free to choose between good and bad, He also gave us the capacity to know when we had chosen wrongly”

[ID text: “There is a moment when you are a teenage girl when you don’t belong to anybody. You aren’t really a daughter. You aren’t anyone’s partner. You aren’t related to anyone at all.

I fell madly in love with everything. Everything made me excited. Drinking coffee out of a cracked cup with a yellow rose on it. The covers of paperbacks in bookstore windows. The smell of skunk as I walked along the train tracks. A row of plastic horses on a windowsill. The gold songbirds on the wallpaper in a motel room. The stack of television monitors in the store window, each playing a different television show. A trumpet player in the subway.

You see the world in such strange and intense and creative way in that brief time when you truly believe you don’t belong to anyone. When you are most likely to be murdered. When abuse cannot touch your personhood. The way I saw the world then was what I wanted to capture in art.” end ID]
