Next time you hear someone defend gays & **** think of this

We live in a society that is structured around many different hierarchies of power, authority, and difference. As Foucault brilliantly observed, Power is not sitting out there in the ether, an abstraction that we just talk about in philosophy classes. Power acts through and upon bodies. Certain people are racialized in American society for example. Their bodies are locations of power--and yes resistance. Likewise, certain types of bodies are marked as "normal," while others are deemed "different" or "abnormal."

The "popular" imagination holds many assumptions about particular types of bodies. The black male body is something to be policed, controlled, and feared. It is both envied and despised. The Asian female body is "erotic" and "submissive." The black female body alternates between being fecund, always available, and out of control, while simultaneously being marked as "masculine," asexual, and unattractive. Latinas are "hot" and "sexy." White bodies of a certain type are taken as the baseline for what is considered "beautiful" or "normal."

I read some more of it and realized that it isn't all sex. Some of these "slaves" are just used for hard labor.

I don't know what to call that. Some of these fools aren't even getting off, they're just working on a fukking plantation as slaves. That's some grade A c00nery.

On the other hand, I don't care as long as there's another plantation where the roles are reversed. Now that would be interesting.

[Non Sequitur]

If it's making them happy, then why not?

They can do whatever they want as long as they don't come at me with it I really don't care.
