In Which I Rock Grad School, Thank You Very Much

Today I quoted Judith Butler on the performativity of gender and, in particular, the undermining effect that the inclusion of things like work, professionalism, independence, etc. under the rubric of what is considered "female" on the traditional "male" identity at my Dialogue, Narrative and Storytelling in Irish Drama prof*.

*smile*

Not that my classmates quite grokked Butler's theory that there's a differnece between gender (doing) and sex (being).

But I quoted Judith Butler at my prof. It was assault by Social Theory. And this was *after* I banged on about Bruce Lee's career. Seriously, I would make some film nerd the perfect gf - smart, pedantic *and* has a taste for 70s Asian cinema.

But nevermind that - I soooooooo rocked grad school today.
