"butches are deeply, if not fatally, attracted to the feminine"

[starfrosting]

I have a crush on someone I've never met. Is that totally out of line?

In other but equally maybe-ridiculous notes, I remember reading something Judith Butler said once about butch/femme and SM discourses being really formative to her, etc etc. And I just can't help but think that Judy is a big ole butch bottom who likes subbing for imperious femmes.

It seems wildly inappropriate to speculate on a favorite philosopher/theorist's sexuality, and yet I can't help myself.

Also for *some* inexplicable reason this reminds me of taxishoes's assertion that ze and I will never be attracted to the same person, ever. I mean I find that hard to believe, even though all signs point to YES, You Are Absolutely Right Dude. Haha.

Jaclyn is coming over any minute now. I'm excited but my tummy hurts. I should shower but I don't feel like it. I miss Val already. Today I was kneeling down to get something out of the lower level of the box and he was going to open the top one, so I made to move but he said, "No, stay down there. I want to be above your head, so I can hurt you before you go." Awww. He does love me.

At the Judith Butler stuff or the chef stuff or what eh?

well, as much as i find butler's statement to be pretty speculative (or narrow-minded, i cant tell since its out of context); it was more the last paragraph that had me grinning.

but, the whole post just kinda just came together and resulted in a big grin.

I totally took it out of context. She qualifies it by saying something like many, but by no means all...and not exclusively...etc. But yeah.

hehe gotcha. its not that i dont agree in some cases. just a blanket statement wouldnt make much sense to me.
