I'm sure you could read the original papers through your university access, Joe. But there's also plenty of places to get them for free.
An adopted career path that doesn't exist unless someone else is present to observe (i.e., "assume") it.
If there is no natural basis then he's saying that people can identify into and out of oppression. The question then is why would someone identify into oppression and for the answer to that we can only ask Joe or some other troon who is going to tell us that their identity is natural for them. (This also raises questions of if it is oppression if you willingly choose it.)For instance, you can see him trying to tie sexism into union rhetoric here, where "women" are analogous to "workers."
If you'll recall his "you can only define firefighters through a circular definition" argument, you see how often he comes back to this idea that woman is an adopted career path. He is drafting behind choice feminism and Marxist proletariat rhetoric, but he never understands why his analogies fucking suck.
"No other dominated group claims a natural basis for its domination" is an attempt to say that noticing sex differences is analogous to something like 19th-century race science. Of course, grafting sexism onto slavery and labor discourse doesn't work at all because being a woman has a meaning independent of man (the same as being "African" is a value-neutral statement, or being "a firefighter" does not depend on distinguishing yourself from anti-firefighters). "Women have this much muscle and lung capacity" exists independently of "and men typically have more." The comparison is only relevant when stacking up facts alongside each other.
He genuinely seems to think he's here to teach women how to not be such oppressed drags all the time.
More like Family Freud amirite?
At the time, something about the way she wrote about it made me think she was going for a metoidioplasty. She or Joe made some awful joke about having enough meat or something.
Would be a great arc, but she seems to have chickened out. I can't imagine her doing it and just not writing about it.
I didn’t even know what metioplasty was. Ick. Seems anti-masculine to either have a giant clit/bizarre micro-penis.
I can’t imagine Joe not bragging about it. He seemed to really get off on destroying every vestige of Mallory’s feminine qualities and any perceived normality. He got a deep perverse thrill out of destroying the wholesome Christian girl and her family.
Please take me with you.
