Status Updates From Compulsory Heterosexuality ...

Well this might be one of the most important feminist works. Yes there’s issues. But the erasure and misconstruing involved in the key concepts are exactly why we can’t move past patriarchy. Plain and simple logical structural analysis.

what an essay!

"Economically disadvantaged, women—whether waitresses or professors—endure sexual harassment to keep their jobs and learn to behave in a complaisantly and ingratiatingly heterosexual manner because they discover this is their true qualification for employment, whatever the job description."

"I am suggesting that heterosexuality, like mother-hood, needs to be recognized and studied as a political institution-- even, or especially, by those individuals who feel they are, in their personal experience, the precursors of a new social relation between the sexes."
