Queer theory and bestiality: LGBTQ…Z?

RoyalCorgi · 12/08/2021 10:01

I just came across this on Twitter - though it seems to have been originally published in print in 2012.

www.cambridge.org/core/journals/hypatia/article/abs/lgbtqz/85A2B98B6708318C7C7DAAE40D15D4C9#

I can't work out from the abstract what it's arguing, but perhaps someone else will have better luck.

My attempt at a translation:

"Queer theory means you can shag animals."

From the link:

She doesnt give much guidance, often makes irrational and uninformed claims, and even believes zoophilia and bestiality are part of the LGBTQ community (dont believe me? Read the article LGBTQ...Z?)

Worst prof I've had at Duke. Tells you incorrect things about science (like whales can time travel).

FloralBunting · 12/08/2021 10:47

Obviously this proposal deserves no respect or credence at all.

But I'd really like to know more about time travelling whales.

Jaysmith71 · 12/08/2021 10:49

So can we shag the time-travelling whales???

I assumed this must be a pisstake, like Swift's "Modest Proposal," but worryingly it looks real.

Coooo-eeeeee! Flipper! Where are you???

Jaysmith71 · 12/08/2021 10:51

....And it's at Duke!

Clearly the time-travelling whales have received the COVID vaccination containing time-travelling nano-particles. Naomi Wolf tried to warn us.

Mybalconyiscracking · 12/08/2021 11:10

I think it means you can shag an animal as long as you tell it that you love it first.

Jaysmith71 · 12/08/2021 11:11

The love that dare not squeak its name?

I want to know more about time travelling whales too!

Previously I thought they just traveled through space, which of course didn’t go well for the whale 😢

Well either people in academia have completely lost their marbles or its a spoof. I did once watch a TV programme in which some mad American married his horse but I kind of wish I hadnt.

JulesJules · 12/08/2021 11:23

Come on, everyone knows whales can time travel, it was in that Star Trek film.

Adding the Z (zebras are sooo pretty) is the next logical step in this shitshow of utter bollocks.

All that eyelash-fluttering unicorn imagery...

Time travelling whales is surely a Hitchhikers Guide reference?!

FloralBunting · 12/08/2021 11:44

"Oh no, not again"

  • a relevant Hitchhiker's reference I feel we can all appreciate.
RoyalCorgi · 12/08/2021 11:48

Desperate to know more about the time-travelling whales.

I think the joy (such as it is) of this Queer theory stuff is that you never know whether they really believe it or whether they're taking the piss.

I initially assumed it was a gender critical bit of reductio ad absurdum, but it turns out she really does just want to justify shagging her dog.

Pages 251 and 252 Hmm

...starting to look like a ruff sex defence.

This was the conclusion of the Mens sexual rights movement in Scandinavia. It has been made illegal now.

Didn't really understand any of that excerpt from TheSockMonster. Can anyone translate?

That genuinely made me chuckle

I'm not fluent in inane pomo word salad, but it's making a case for "radical love for animals (dog sex in this case)" as a natural part of queer theory.

Freespeecher · 12/08/2021 12:45

But would she be having sex with male or female dogs?
