god i fucking hate gender.

It's this whole system of socially codified power moves. And ways of expressing relational posturing and social domains of control that's treated as if it's this totally sophisticated and subtle thing, really civilized and gracious and shit

Except sometimes you step wrong and land in the wrong Gender Mediated Social Position, and people spring this total saw trap of power dynamic behavior on you

and you're like what the fuck I am just walking here. Why is your gender booby trap situation my problem! Why are you trying to put me in my place in a ranking I am making every effort not to participate in!

But in gendered society participation in the gender dance is non-optional! You gotta keep up with the steps or people will absolutely plow you over and make it your fault for not dodging! You don't get to opt out!

#gender is a social contract.#Unfortunately!!!#Like ok. I know that the nature of communication is on a continuum with manipulation and likewise that #all social interactions are functionally on a continuum with power dynamics.#I don't like to take a hardline view on that because often in my experience people who really harp on #'All communication is manipulation' also have personal communication styles I don't tend to enjoy #But I'm not out here earnestly believing we can actually scrub posturing and power plays out of social dynamics.#But the thing is.#One of the utilities of gender is that it allows for a lot of this posturing to happen on unobtrusive levels due to finely tuned signalling #So that the posturing can happen in parallel with other social communication a lot of the time #but the downside to this is that the posturing never fully turns off.#There's no situation where you have even the option to set it all willfully aside.#Because it's so deeply and thoroughly baked in to so many aspects of expression and styling and posture and behavior #And any way you try to confound it - piling on contrary signifiers or trying to scrub them all out - ends up signaling something else #Because it is a system that is built to hold contradictions and complexities but not the null value.#So you really truly are stuck in the dance no matter how many steps you keep missing or bad collisions you get into #or how badly you just want to leave. And do something else and have a different type of interaction where people aren't Doing This at you.#You are stuck in the dance and anything you do or don't do is perceived as a dance move and every misstep and collision is taken as #an affront.#And any silly little jig you fall into to get by incidentally sets you up to be the mortal enemy of someone somewhere out there #Who either sees you as a foil or a mockery or an affront to how they move through the dance #And they WILL make it your problem.

For all eternity…
