(and first, isn't it funny that i can't speak french anymore? are *all* my articles wrong?)
It's not just that capitalism produes, sustains, + banks on (haha) the gender binary, but also that resistance to normative gender takes place in the space of hypercapitalism-- of course, just like near everything else. So my desire to look a certain type of boyish is manufactured by men's fashion mags and "Queer Eye" as much as by queer culture practices that pervert + then sup up the gendered market. Not only is it assured that I will be shaped by/sold into hierarchies of boy/girl consumerism when doing my gender 'right,' but it's a sure bet that I will buy into a consumerist mentality even when I do my gender wrong.
(then I wanna talk about how I will consume products in pursuit of an image which, while explicitly not intended for me, is made no more subversive by its 'inappropriateness,' it's still my $ crossing the counter...then I wanna wax on about men's low rise flares, sharp oxfords, cute underwear, and hair clippers.)

Eventually this will develop into something, so tell me what's up.
