Anyway, in case anyone cares, the articles were Marilyn Frye's "To Be and Be Seen: The Politics of Reality" (1983) and Charlotte Bunch's "Not For Lesbians Only" (1975). I wrote this long post attacking a lot of things in both, bringing in Audre Lorde's "Man Child: A Black Lesbian Feminist's Response" (1979), and wanna guess how long it was? 1349 words. My last "five to seven page paper" for this class was about half as long as it was supposed to be, totalling 831 words. I could totally write a lengthy paper ripping apart these two articles, doing research to show how they are no longer applicable to today's queer. But of course i rarely get to do papers i actually care about. I am so going to get a C in this class because i can't do good work when i don't care. Jelena says she'll kill me if i get a C, though. I really don't want a C in a fucking intro class on my transcript, so we shall see.
