Most of the article, I can understand and get behind.
But the middle part (about sex) just completely loses me.
ZHE PLASCHTIC SCHNIFF PENIS DILDO ELECTRIC :zizek-preference:
I think he says that sexuality is based on not knowing what you want, like a fundamental distance from yourself, so that the imposition placed on women by feminists to know these interests too quickly in defense is a poor response to the man’s aggression of claiming to know the woman’s interest innately. For him, both the man and the feminist he describes are undermining sexuality itself. What’s not clear to me is what he thinks women should do about it. I don’t think he offers an alternative. I liked the article overall
Seems to me like he goes off on a tangent because so much of his identity is wrapped up in being a public intellectual who has one foot in psychoanalysis.
