Kinsey --presence of one precludes the other --raised sense of "knowing" whether a person is "gay" or not. --Identifying categories in order to better advocate for general rights --What do we ask for? In relation to "heterosexual" --Can you explain "butch / femme" --> Wittig refers to "'the butch" --> The way that "butch" lesbians were policed within the very women's movement --> "Lesbian feminists" --> women's movement not speaking for butch women or women of color --> butch-femme refers to practices within lesbian community where women identify as either butch (masculine, not so much passing as a man) or feminine (feeling feminine in relation to the butch--nice hair, clothes, lipstick, etc) --> What "looks" like masculinity and femininity within a couple, and each upholding a general role, but then there's also things like butch-pregnancy, so. :o --> Herstory archive (particularly lesbian" --> Wittig --> gendering of little girls is still sexualization Choice is to reproduce, or to not. But to reproduce with ooloi means that the two humans will become repulsed with each other. Margaret ATWOOD MY QUEEN -on some level attempting to create a world without sex -what can happen when we remove sex from the world? -performance of gender -- becoming a different gender through performance Allegory -- Novel is rich with allegorical implications. Can be looked at as colonialism, as parenting, as gender-queerism, etc.
