" To reperesent anything out of the norm is to be "queer". " Twiz
I must admit when I saw this topic on the syllabus I wondered "What could that be about?". I must say I am no more clear today than I was then. So what I understand about Queer Theory is that it is undefinable. We really don't know what queer theory is as it defies definition. All I really gathered is that it encompasses and embodies all that is "outside" of the "norm" or ordinary. To me... normal is a very fluid thing. This includes but is not limited to sexual orientation. One might say that it is more about social constructs tat about sexuality and gender.
The second topic discussed during this particular class was Feminist Theory. Well, I am here to say I am a feminist. Yes, I said it. This is not to say I hate men... because in fact I like men... I do however hate the male dominated structure of our society and realize that it is something I have been fighting against for a long time. One thing I learned is that whatever your feminist slant there is a theory for it, just take your pick. I'm going to have to look much deeper into this issue.
