no bondage, no delight!

For Butler, the act of subversion is so riveting, so sexy, that it is a bad dream to think that the world will actually get better. What a bore equality is! No bondage, no delight. In this way, her pessimistic erotic anthropology offers support to an amoral anarchist politics.

Um shit!

(Martha Nussbaum, "The Professor of Parody: The Hip Defeatism of Judith Butler")

Well if she weren't so goddamn seductive then maybe we wouldn't be beholden to her amoral (not immoral, but amoral!) anarchist (!?!) politics! Oy gevalt.
