My Thoughts on THe Contemporary Feminist movement.
Hey whats up guys. I’m sick as f*cking hell right now and as such this blog post probably is not going to be the best thing you’ve ever read, but at the very least try to tolerate my ramblings as … Continue reading → Continue reading →
The Vindications of “My blog post is not late…YES!”
Discard the title. excuse my word vomit: Reading “A Vindication of the Rights of Woman”, I found myself very confused to where I stood with Wollstone on her arguments. One thing that I feel really strongly about with Wollstone was her argument that went along the lines of rationality and how women should stop using […] Continue reading →
Paine
I can see where Burke is coming from. Revolution is chaotic, passionate, and perhaps infectious — he didn’t want the English to break away from their customs in a similar manner, but rather, in a cautious way with not too much change to challenge how things usually are. But sometimes there needs to be radical […] Continue reading →

Later I’ll be making another post about Fanon, though we read Black Skin, White Masks quite a […] Continue reading →

the Pain of Paine

The History of Identity
Fanon: What is culture? Foucault: What is sexuality? Hacking: What is identity? I haven’t finished reading all of Hacking’s book, but what did strike me so far is his apparent question (above) throughout the book. What is identity; do we have one? What … Continue reading → Continue reading →
