thinking about alw erik and raoul. an interesting dynamic (and queer take on them) would be that erik yearns for christine because of her voice, the way it completes his music perfectly. he therefore conflates romantic love with idolisation, his loneliness and hunger for affection fueling this need for her and her gentle nature; her kindness being such that he believes she might be able to accept his monstrous looks.

enter raoul who, despite being different in personality, appearance-wise erik sees he is ideal by other's standards. this fosters a sort of heat within him each time he sees the man with christine, hears his voice, sees him smile, thinks about him after his mind drifts from christine to that man who so often attaches himself to her. he believes the heat is jealousy, when in truth it is partly envy, because he wishes he were so handsome, well-liked and naturally charismatic, then love (platonic and romantic) would be easier for him. he wants to be like raoul, mimic the way he carries himself, the way he dresses and looks, because that is what is considered good and perfect by society, yet he can't. it looks wrong on him. but that heat is also the starting flame of a crush, a simmering lust that grows in intensity until it confuses erik, infuriates him.

why must his thoughts of christine always lead to that man? why does his imagination wander into territory unbidden, of the delicate face of the singer he adores, her lips smiling and pressing against his, into that of raoul? he's angry and frustrated, and blushing has become such a common occurrence that he scarcely realises when he does it.

but he does it, and christine notices it first when she is in the phantom's presence and their conversation somehow diverts to raoul, and this strange, half-masked man's eyes flit off to the side, his fingers fidget and wriggle in tight fists, his one exposed cheek glowing such a fierce red that it's clearly visible in the dim light. and christine tries to understand whether this was the phantom angry and jealous, or perhaps something more reminiscent of someone filled with a desire they have no idea how to handle.

the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy's way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn't expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.

[asneakyfox]

btw this is maybe the single most key distinguishing feature of the terfy strains of radical feminism, the seed all the rest of it springs out of: they have absolutely no faith in the ability of feminism to actually destroy patriarchy. they do not think feminism can truly build a better world. they cannot really even imagine that possibility. they think patriarchy is an inevitable natural consequence of unchangeable biological facts, and therefore the goal of feminism can only be to mitigate the worst effects of patriarchy, not to get rid of it.

they can imagine a society where women get some designated safe spaces without men around. they cannot imagine a society where the presence of men is not inherently a danger to women.

“Frances and I were considering attending a Lesbian/Feminist conference this summer, when we were notified that no boys over ten were allowed. This presented logistic as well as philosophical problems for us, and we sent the following letter: Sisters: Ten years as an interracial lesbian couple has taught us both the dangers of an oversimplified approach to the nature and solutions of any oppression, as well as the danger inherent in an incomplete vision. Our thirteen-year-old son represents as much hope for our future world as does our fifteen-year-old daughter, and we are not willing to abandon him to the killing streets of New York City while we journey west to help form a Lesbian-Feminist vision of the future world in which we can all survive and flourish.”
