Urban v's the Commentariat

Yeah. Given that it seems to be being waved about by some in the public eye to simply mean "hey I don't 100% agree with the expectations associated with my assigned gender and I'm more complex than that" I have sympathy with Moore's point that it's what you kind of expect, and it's true for everyone. It may be worth saying but it's an easy thing to say if your life is not being actively repressed, and, well, privilege and history need to be borne in mind.

The piece does fall apart a bit nearer the end though.

it's a bit disjointed, but this bit is what i really aggree with.

Because if sex is just something you do rather than something you are, then it is way easier to play with gender. Yet it has become so muddled that every identity must be proclaimed in a hierarchy of grievance. This fragmentation, which is not intersectionality, but rather an increasingly insular discussion about cis-ness, microaggressions and trigger warnings, runs in horrific parallel to images of women being raped and killed all over the world.

which i reckon translates as asking if we can take a step back and look at the bigger picture as well for a while. because if you've got a voice that gets listened to, then wasting it on wibbling about your non-privilaged credentials makes it about you. and your sex life, and where you live and your haircut and your .....

i could have given my non priv credentials in the last post, but i'm not lp, so 'because stuff' will do. because then tis about the argument i'm making. not about me. Lp takes this making it all about her to extremes. moore indulges in a bit of her own as well, her own claim to special snowflake status is being spelled out through that. far froim innocent, but not anywhere near LP's level in this article.


and she's also right about this shit not being intersectionality.

Is building an 'ethical personal brand,' isn't it?

pukes.

it's ethics for people who think they are being green by loadingtheir shopping into thier 4x4 in reusable bags

'Genderqueer' is such an all encompassing term that I'm not sure that there is a single person in Britain who couldn't conceivably claim 'genderqueer' status.

Oh, he doesn't like football he must be genderqueer, she likes putting together flatpack furniture genderqueer... etc

yep. i just want to scream - stop sitting about labelling it and deciding what place it gives you in the hierarchy. go have some fun exploring it.

Nick Cohen + Oxford = Explosive Take.

Oxford University’s politics, philosophy and economics course was not established to create a ruling class.

Oxford’s triumph is the victory of a self-organising system, not a Gaullist masterplan. Ambitious young people who want to become politicians see that successful politicians have studied PPE. They apply to Oxford and become successful politicians themselves. Success breeds success and the machine feeds itself.

I was reading that in the pub earlier with my lip curling. I wanted to copy and paste a bit into a tweet but remembered that you can't do that with a paper copy of the Observer on the bar.

I am a PPE graduate – who isn’t, darling? – and can testify that there wasn’t then, and is not now, anything resembling an Oxford ideology.

^ that bit

and this bit:

"You could say that Oxford’s dominance was acquired, like the British empire, in a fit of absent-mindedness."

 

[muscovyduck]

Well it says everything that a PPE graduate a) thinks that lots of people are PPE graduates and b) doesn't understand what ideology is.

No I'm genderqueer and so is my non hetronormative life partner.

 

[DaveCinzano]

No I'm genderqueer.

Sometimes a fondness for snails and oysters is just a gastronomic preference

 

[toggle]

in all seriousness, i suspect it's a useful term for those who know they don't fit with other people's expectations but aren't quite sure what box(es) they tick. or just want to get on and not tick any. or those who want to express difference and don't want to go into details.

my problem with the term isn't it's existance, or it's lack of concrete meaning, but the use of it to claim extra status points in identity politics.

 

[DaveCinzano]

Enough with the duplicates

 

[ItWillNeverWork]

Not sure I like the use of the term queer in any context, tbh (well maybe the original meaning of the word as something odd and quirky). I know it's supposed to be a reclamation of a term of abuse with the intention of turning it into something positive, but it still just seems like sweary offensiveness to me. Maybe I'm just becoming an old fuddy duddy.

Fantastic.

When I was at school, Harry Potter and his friends were more important than the Greek pantheon. Harry, Ron and Hermione spoke to the values of my millennial cohort, who grew up convinced that if we were talented and worked hard, we would go to the equivalent of wizard school and lead magical lives in which good would ultimately prevail.

Will we plucky outsiders of £30k a year Brighton College and Oxford succeed

even if “the odds are never in our favour”

Today’s teenagers are braver, better connected and less naive than any generation in living memory and it is up to the rest of us to stand behind them.

This is a little bit bollocks, and despite being so 'connected', the last person you chose to stand up behind was a nazi weirdo.

Yeah, but you couldn't expect her not to follow the lead of her Noo Yawk wiberal buddies, could you (most of whom are as removed from "real life" as she is)?
