social constructs

Lately I’ve grown very tired of the misuse and abuse of the term social construct. Yes, it is true that anything we have been conditioned to believe as “scientific fact” such as gendering and race are in fact constructs that we have created; in other words, they are typically named as “not real.” Indeed: the […]

very quickly on privilege as pejorative

A thing allies like to do in the internetosphere, particularly white, male ones, is to point out the privilege they know they have, and how they’ve made steps to move beyond it. Apparently, if you’re conscious of these things, you can shake them off, as if they are just a superficial set of constructs that […]

some quick thoughts on hair, politics and hair politics

As a, um, a person who identifies politically in several different ways, especially in regard to my feminism, I have come to terms with the fact that it is impossible to make a radical, revolutionary (whatever that even means any more) or feminist choice in every instance. I think one would drive oneself insane trying […]
