    "Soziales Geschlecht" ist ein Blödsinn der sprachanalytischen Philosophie, nicht Sprache schafft Realität, sondern Realität schafft Sprache. Es gibt nur die biologischen Geschlechter, und deren entsprechende Geschlechterrollen, die sich je nach Stand der gesellschaftlichen Stufe dialektisch entwickeln und unterscheiden. Butler verwechselt diese reale Geschlechterrolle mit einem immaginären, eingebildetem sozialen Geschlecht, was den idealistischen Kern ihrer philosophischen Verfehlungen ausmacht. So auch der Irrtum, durch Bereinigung der Sprache die Geschlechter zu befreien: In "geschlechtslosen" Sprachen müsste das Ziel schon längst erreicht sein, aber genau das Gegenteil ist der Fall (zB. Türkisch). Auf solche Fakten geht aber eine Sprachanalytikerin nicht ein.

    She also claims that Hamas is a social movement and that gays and lesbians can live a free life in Palestine. She advises her students to state their rebellion by proclaiming themselves as non binary. That’s enough. No need to inform yourselves about the details of what you are protesting against. This is how she creates a generation of students as uninformed and as uneducated as no other student generation before.

    She literally has me thinking it’s better to abolish the concept of gender leaving only sex. Like, isn’t self expression basically your personality? She can promote the same freedom of expression without the complicated Gender ideology. Don’t see how not, unless there’s an underlying feminist agenda behind her ideas.

      Um, having only sex leads you to a few issues, one you have the existence of transexuals, second intersex, third, sex has been historically used to divide society..if you have a decision of sex that decision becomes a binary gender system. Unless you see that a society without gender is a society that only has two sexes(or three if you include intersex). So I don't get how your two sexes thing is different from how society was say 100 years ago. There is no difference unless you get rid of the binary gender which leads to butlers theory being very important

We slowly drove - He knew no haste And I had put away My labor and my leisure too, For His Civility - We passed the School, where Children strove At Recess - in the Ring - We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain - We passed the Setting Sun - Or rather - He passed Us - The Dews drew quivering and Chill - For only Gossamer, my Gown - My Tippet - only Tulle - We paused before a House that seemed A Swelling of the Ground - The Roof was scarcely visible - The Cornice - in the Ground - Since then - 'tis Centuries - and yet Feels shorter than the Day I first surmised the Horses' Heads Were toward Eternity -
