Note to self - return to page 79 and highlight this Judith Butler quote (seems that they’ve followed me out of ‘Who’s Afraid of Gender?’ and into my new book :0):
“It won’t do to say that threats against some people are tolerable but against others are intolerable.”

“I also really appreciated the image of Judith Butler on a slip ‘n slide. Maybe I will try to keep that story in my head the next time I try to read all of Gender Trouble without getting lost and giving up.”

Note later, page 105:
“It is not as simple as teaching ourselves to not see crying as weak, or as feminine. I don’t want to teach that crying is a show of strength, either... I want us to see crying as inextricably linked to living, like exhaling is to the act of breathing.
I think one of the most valuable things this culture steals from our men is their tears.”
