That Jill Soloway interview sounds incredibly depressing. You hate heels, make up and dresses - then ditch them without apology. You are still a woman. FFS. It's scary that people who consider themselves progressive and enlightened are coming out with rubbish like this

Exactly, Lotta! So regressive.

Exactly. It's not dismantling gender, it's elevating it to ever more ridiculous levels.

Eradicating sex as a class is not dismantling gender roles. My comment got deleted so I'll post it here instead.
