So I was working on the intro section for the book Im writing, - TopicsExpress



          

So I was working on the intro section for the book Im writing, working title, Owning the Space You Inhabit, which is a book on feminism. And I find myself talking to men in the intro, trying to make them feel comfortable reading a book Im writing for feminists. Wtf? Dudes, if you cant read through the languaging that makes a book a feminist book, maybe youre not a feminist. Thanks brain, for remembering that its OK for guys not to own everything, everywhere, all the time. (Duh.) P.S. On related note, I am working with the idea of languaging a lot in this book, and in the intro I also found myself using super masculinized language. That shit is sneaky. Thanks to Luce Irigaray for tons of info on the language piece. And other stuff. Mind. blown.
