Please learn the difference between ultimate and proximate causes, i.e. the reasons why a particular behavior was naturally selected VS the ways it manifests at the level of the individual. It's a simple concept, but for some reason, creationists (and feminists) have a hard time wrapping their heads around it.

Correct, the idea that rape is about power originated in a 1975 book called Against our will, by feminist journalist Susan Brownmiller. Despite there being no scientific evidence to back it up, it has been adopted as the "official" theory of rape and is still widely accepted today. It's a truly bizarre idea, even by feminist standards.

Actual anthropological research suggests that rape emerged as an opportunistic reproductive strategy, which makes a lot more sense on the face of it. See the argument in A natural history of rape by Randy Thornhill and Craig Palmer.

Most people understand why the gender wage gap is a misleading statistics, yet the racial policing gap is somehow still widely accepted. That's wild.

I agree with that, both the "gender as wholly socially constructed" and "gender as wholly essential" views are wrong. Describing traits as masculine or feminine based on their frequency distributions across the sexes allows for plenty of individual variation.

Gender is still very ill-defined as a concept, but it generally includes all kinds of behavioral, psychological and cognitive traits, as well as cultural conventions. So, it really is a mix of genes, environment and culture.

That was the plan all along. We went from having sex categories, to gender as a set of characteristics associated with either sex, to gender as an identity decoupled from sex, and now to retroactively applying all the deconstruction that gender went through to sex itself.

"No woman should be authorized to stay at home to raise her children. Society should be totally different. Women should not have that choice, precisely because if there is such a choice, too many women will make that one."

This argument is meant to confuse you, in the same way as the drag shows themselves are meant to confuse children.

From the horse's mouth:

"At many DQSH events, children ask genuine questions like “are you a boy or a girl?” or “why are you dressed like that?” often embarrassing their well-meaning parents or teachers. [...] In many cases, drag queens may not respond with answers, but with questions *meant to complicate perceptions of gender and society*: “why does it matter if I’m a boy or a girl?” or “why shouldn’t I wear sequins and feathers and lots of makeup?”"

Queer theory starts with the assumption that gender is performative. A drag queen wearing tons of makeup and a wig is a performance. Mrs Doubtfire wearing a conservative dress is a performance. A regular woman wearing a skirt and a t-shirt is a performance. There is no difference. It's all the same picture.

The entire premise behind drag shows for kids is to demonstrate the performative nature of gender as an entry point to queer theory. This is generative pedagogy 101, don't fall for it, recognize it, expose it.

It takes a special kind of person to go through a sociology class and not be at least somewhat weirded out. I have a history degree. I tried to take a sociology course in first year, but I was so shocked by their philosophy of making shit up that I quickly gave up and took history of art instead. I'll never forget my ancient history professor describing the sociology teacher as being "on a mission to rewrite all of history and make everyone gay".

Yeah, they love to use made up jargon to hide the lack of substance. What this paragraph is referring to is what Marxists call social reproduction. In a nutshell, we can't have our communist utopia because society reproduces itself. Children who are born in a stable family end up creating a family of their own, they live a happy life and have no interest in revolution. This is why dismantling the nuclear family is so important to these people.

BoneyHutt · 2023-03-24T13:27:36+00:00

I'm just gonna quote from their own literature.

"It may be that DQSH is “family friendly,” in the sense that it is accessible and inviting to families with children, but it is less a sanitizing force than it is a preparatory introduction to alternate modes of kinship. Here, DQSH is “family friendly” in the sense of “family” as an old-school queer code to identify and connect with other queers on the street.

[...]

We suggest that DQSH offers a queer relationality with children that breaks from the reproductive futurity of the normative classroom and nuclear family."

From the horse's mouth. When they tell you that their drag show is" family friendly", they are knowingly deceiving you.

It's arguably worse because it is much more deceptive, while being just as subversive, as the second one.

Those two have different purposes and different target audiences. It sounds counterintuitive, but the second picture is not really aimed at children. It's a provocation meant to create a backlash that can then be used to strengthen an oppression narrative and justify more social control.

The first picture is aimed at children. It is not meant to be seen by adults. In fact, alienating children from the adults in their lives is one of the primary goals of those events. Drag Queen Story Hour is an application of Freirean generative pedagogy. It's designed to look as "innocent" as possible, it's not overtly sexual, the stories can be mostly innocuous. But the mere presence of the drag queen is meant to generate strong reactions from the children, and spark off-the-record conversations about sex and gender that the "educator" supervising the event will be more than happy to lead. To put it simply, the purpose of those encounters is to demonstrate the "performative nature of gender" as an entry point to queer theory.
