Butler:
“… the identification of women by anatomical gender (sex) means for Beauvoir and Wittig, that the category of “Women”, fused with the supposedly sexualized features of their bodies, what the refusal implies, the women, to concede that freedom and autonomy, the men seem to enjoy.”
And, exactly, I have merged with my body and am completely restricted by my biology or the randomly female regular runs of my body.—
Butler names the biological sex, the “Sex” resp: the “anatomical gender”. I wonder, how she personally perceives her body, as a skeleton seen from the outside? As an automaton, an empty shell?—
Then: granted freedom? What's this? a granted freedom? Where does a granted freedom come from?? Do I want to get it? Who will allow me to do it? Butler? And what is, when I want other freedoms? Or none at all, definitely not granted by him.hihi. Trapped again. —
Butler: “The destruction of the category “gender” would be the deconstruction of the attribute, namely the attribute “gender”, that by the misogynistic rhetorical gesture of the Synekdoche the place of the person or. of the self-determined cogito has taken.”
And, impressive.
“Or to put it another way: only men are persons and there is no gender identity other than the feminine.”
And, impressively pointed history (Beauvoir, Sarte, Freud uswusw).
The “gender” even, the “Anatomical”— whatever that should be, an anatomical gender, apparently Butler has no hormones, no pain during her days?! — is therefore a cultural construct.
This results in, that also the “Gender identity” called
“Gender—!!!”
just one effect of this construct “gender” resp “Sex” is, constructed by… from…. “Universal cogito?” Hihi.
Summarized part one, Starting position: So there is no gender, no more gender identity, although only one of the two “Genders” even had an identity, the way I read it now; namely that, that has to wrestle with its identity to this day!!!! As not only butler proves with her book….
consequently:
“… claims Wittig, that the fall of the “Forced heterosexuality” a true humanism of “Person”, who is freed from the fetters of sex, will open….”
This is a lot of fun!!!! Wow!!!
“… because the origin of individual subjects requires, that previously the category “gender” has been destroyed….”
And, impressive. To destroy. Hihi.—
Very interesting first part of Butler's book: the discomfort of the sexes. But consequently I would: the “Discomfort of sex” call, since, in my rudimentary view, one cannot abolish gender or eliminate a binary problem, when there is only 1 sex in this world.
Endless differentiation!!— So far I would also like to ask in Butler's book:
And where is the man? Who is he in all the feminist discourses? How is his body? Is it also a cultural artifact? If he doesn't “Gender identity” needed, because he is more than that; then it wouldn't be about time, with all that feminism, a little more books on identity and the challenge “Mann” to write?
What interests me personally:
When my identity as a woman is just an effect, a performance, to which I was instigated, which resulted from my cultural embedding;
how should this “Effects” look in the future, so that they
cannot be sexualized? I mean, how can a woman avoid such a lapse? As long as her face has feminine features and not neutral features? e.g..
It's called by Butler: “To be a woman, is certainly not everything, what one is.”
Haha! This sentence has it all!!! This sentence shoots the bird!! Because of the resolution of the attributes…. and a new grammar. Because of the self-claims, to which someone has been exposed for a long time, long time…. which is also ok.—-
“Man will disappear like a dime a dozen.” Said Foucault over twenty years ago.
He didn't mean by that, that people will no longer exist. But no more as a subject?
A being, that would rather do away with its biology, than working on its human possibilities. rather (biological) Working out weapons, than grappling with its own biological limits.
Who prefers endless constructs, statistics, Comparisons, Working out differences into smaller and smaller ones— an idiotic hobbyist—instead of—
I don't want to say it anymore. I am feeling ashamed for that. For my foolishly simple biological urges, my simplified worldview, my primitiveness etc..
What can a person be, when he is no longer a subject?
