I can write this and preform it better ...shoot I coudl write better lyrics. But the fact that I dont have a beard and a waif-ish body frame and a slight lisp will NOT get me laid. Yep this guy is on the fast track to 'get laid-ville' ....
@ridingdirtyface i'm pretty sure think it's not about "[getting] laid-ville." if you have some rad art to share, do it! i would love to see it regardless of what you look like. and if getting laid is what you're after, genuine self-expression is the sexiest trait and i'm sure many will find your own version of that quite sexy as well.
I think its ok to be a hetero white male. I like women. So what. I'm not opposed to trans/queer people that want to express themselves, and as hetero culture is "dominant" its because most people are heteroSEXUAL (I'm not saying that you cant fall in love with a man/woman, but you might not want to fuck him/her..)
I Just think a lot of this metro/queer positive stuff is a big ruse for straight guys to get laid. They will kiss men, pretend to be open minded, but in the end, they just want sex.
@ridingdirtyface And what would these assumptions about the queer movement be based on, hmmm?
Yes, queer identity is about sex. And love, and art, and freedom, and sorrow, and revolution. Before you make the ludicrous assumption that "a lot of this metro/queer positive stuff is a big ruse for straight guys to get laid", maybe you should actually listen to the voices and narratives of queer people, in order to actually gauge their experiences rather than relying on preconceived notions?
@yakilerer As someone whom has been an ally and comrade along many struggles all over this world, I see straight white males feign understanding and openness in order to get in the pants of womyn within these circles, and using flaky, cheap emo songs like this that use catch phrases derived from
"The ethical Slut" and other pieces of common literature you may see in any random infoshop worldwide. It doesn't do the movement justice, manarchists parading their acoustic guitar and
@ridingdirtyface Additionally, what does "I'm not saying that you cant fall in love with a man/woman, but you might not want to fuck him/her" even MEAN? The whole notion of queer identity is premised on the idea that we express ourselves, fall in love and want to fuck in ways that are outlawed by heteronormative society. Your comment has little do do with actual queer theory/ experience, I'm afraid.
Also, queer expression seems super threatening to you, in ways that are pathetic and sad. :(
@yakilerer - And whom are you oppressing with YOUR beliefs now? You seem full of projections about whom I am and what I believe, like many I see within progressive trans/queer communities. You are so used to being oppressed, you turn it on others. You seem to be the apparent authority on this subject, and you have it all figured out.
@yakilerer skin-deep back-seat solidarity. If you want to defend people like that, you must be one of them- then you go on to get personal, further exposing your attitude, which itself is TRULY pathetic. Get back to oppressing others with your beleifs, starry-eyed crimethincster
@ridingdirtyface Um, how on earth did I "get personal"? My assumptions about you are based entirely on your previous comments, both of which express little solidarity with queer identity/ political mobilization, and are more concerned with "getting laid" and how queer performance is all about straight people "getting laid" (whaaaat???), and the video poster is "getting laid" because of this, and how you deserve it much more than him. Not much in the way of an ally, from my perspective.
@yakilerer - Don't you even know the words you are typing?
You seem to like to dictate a lot. You dictate what I say, what I mean, everything. You might as well be having a conversation with yourself. In fact, be my guest.
As you are likely young and impressionable, you probably don't even recognize the manarchists in your circle. If I'm not YOUR ally, then GOOD. I side with people that are in it for life, not because its cool or hip at the time. Your "perspective" is cheap, at best.
@ridingdirtyface At any rate, you hardly seem like much of an ally to me, based on your posts. I'm not surprised that "[I] seem full of projections about whom I am and what I believe, like many I see within progressive trans/queer communities". Your previous comments (and these, actually) ring like the hetero version of mansplaining. Straightsplaining? Taking a queer critique and making it all about straight identity, erasing queer subjectivity in the process.
@yakilerer - really? Its about straight identity now? Man, you are great at this reading comprehension thing! Yet again, you attempt to repress with your so-called politics. I've been involved in trans/queer communities for over 15 years actively and one thing I've learned is that people like YOU tend to oppress others more than many straight people I know. Catch-phrases and labeling being a main tenant of this. No actual objective/critical thought, just tired rhetoric that goes nowhere.
@ridingdirtyface I am responding to your earlier comments from 5 months ago- the ones where you said that queer (which you linked up with metrosexuality; like, what?) movements were all about straight guys trying to get laid? Also, that heteronormativity is rightfully "dominant" because of the hetero majority? How is this not problematic? And how am I "repressing" you by calling you out on this?
By all means, dispute my logic. You have yet to do so.
@ridingdirtyface How is it "pretending to be an authority" to problematize what you say? I'm not claiming authority, I'm disagreeing with you and asking you to justify your statements. Calling-out doesn't presume authority or power. It's really all about open communication. I'm not dominating you, I'm objecting to something you said. Different!
Also, if you could actually respond to any of my points, rather than these condescending ad hominem attacks?
@yakilerer - you don't seem to get the concept of non-oppressive thought and the projection of oppressive ideals upon folks that would otherwise be an ally. On the flip side, I have no desire for your (non important) validation. Your inexperience shows. Mature folks in the movement realize that its OK TO BE STRAIGHT. YES! It is. I have every right to post on this article to my opinion on what I see as hipster-esque pimping of queer politics. You see, hipsters commodity and dilute, ya dig?
@ridingdirtyface Who said it was wrong to be straight? It's fine to be whatever, that's the whole thesis of queer politics and THIS SONG. OMG.
What isn't ok is to police others, or to impute motives on them, or to erase their experiences and marginalize their voices. Which is what heteronormativity does. Which is what this song points out. Your previous comments seem to dispute this. How is it oppressive to point this out?
@yakilerer - yep, and I made a comment, which I have every right to do so. You retorted by attempting to hijack MY words and MY purpose. Follow your own RULES that you've made: "What isn't ok is to police others, or to impute motives on them, or to erase their experiences and marginalize their voices." - I don't go out and make rules for how others act, and you may find you'd live a more happy and fulfilling life if you didn't run around dictating how other should act as well.
@yakilerer - Back to the topic, this song. It pushes/caters to a popular catch-phrase within the trans/queer movement(s) and generally marginalizes it, maybe even unknowingly so. And the context I see it within, is the typical flannel-clad hipster that sings this around the camp fire so he can bed womyn over it. He may even believe he isn't for heteronormativity, but the actions I've seen by people like this are generally insincere and divisive in the end. Disagree? Don't bother, I won't reply.
@ridingdirtyface Well okay then! Thanks for humoring me! *eyeroll*
Your logic is flawed and your critique suffers for it. You appear to be depending on stereotypes to justify your strange generalizations. Heteronormativity =/= heterosexuality, so what does it matter if he wants to "bed womyn"? How is that at all a relevant criticism of the song itself? Or of the queer movement itself? Your conclusion is suspect at best.
@yakilerer - Oh, and for the record, you replied to my comment, then it became something about YOU and YOU somehow representing this person and their motives. I'm taking over a decade of experience and applying it and keeping YOU in check, and calling YOU out on your oppressive language and attitude towards a PROUD "straight but not narrow" Man.You aren't winning and minds and hearts by mucking your silly take on queer/trans politics all over the place. Me? I care not to win minds and hearts! :D
