another thot--

i dont think that dworkin reflected the nessc. complicated and personal negotions that occur in every day life...i ike drew, and drew likes me but we had this really difficult conversation coming back from church sunday...and i told him he had a heirachy of sexualities, with the one he managed to acheive as ideal---and while i pretended not to have one, i

then i talked to gerad, and how he believed all sexual ethics should come from christ, and how i thot so too--but his was an ethic of sacrifice and mine was an ethic of sexual intergration and how both of those were legit,

and then watching the 2005 country music video awards with my mother, and commenting on how loretta lynn was as femminist as any of the east coast elite that started the 2nd wave in the mid 60s (ie ti grace atkinson, friedan, steniem, etc) and my mother said that was because she was married at 13, and maybe lynns femminsm (and she would never call it that) was required for her people as tammy and dollys was--how she spoke to those who negotied gender and sex differently--but she did talk about the same things, about the exhaustion of motherhood, of domestic violence, of not being respected as a woman and an artist and a writer, of not wanting to have sex and of the liberating of the pill

in her gaurdian obit it was mentioned that dwarkin was married for 30 yrs to a man, maybe she found a way to negotiate the mindfields of sex, gender, desire, politics, and power the same way that everyone else does.

theory collpases into praxis and we make concessions on the streets we would never in the academies.
