more thoughts...
...not on fandom. On gender. Going to Smith has given me plenty of fuel for thoughts about that.
My impression has been that there are people who seem to want to make gender null and void, eliminate all stereotypes, eliminate all differences. And, don't get me wrong, I respect that. I'm all for androgyny; it turns me on. And it is a legitimate solution to gender inequality, I suppose.
But (but!) I don't think I'd ever really want that. I like well-defined gender distinctions. Cuz, well, if they weren't there, there'd be nothing there to fuck with. And what would be the fun in that?
I should really go to sleep. This is headed nowhere good or sane.
