Re-reading this to get out of my reading slump (:

Seems like tearing up on a Flixbus because of a book I'm reading is turning into a habit for me.

"Irigaray's theories of touch are founded on her perception that female eroticism is not based on the visual, unlike the male voyeuristic gaze, but rather on touching. Touch requires closeness or nearness while vision is distancing, so that all relations that privilege sight privilege distance between subject and object; therefore true connection is impossible in a system that privileges vision."

LOVE this idea!!

A few pages in I realized that I have no idea how to read a manga, literally had to look it up before continuing. I'm still not sure I'm reading this the correct way because whenever I turn the page I feel like the plot from the page before just abruptly stopped in a way that it shouldn't have? Or is that normal? 😭
