Comments on “Anti-Oedipus: a feminist solution?” ‹ Nietzsche's hairs — WordPress
Are you familiar at all with the work of Melanie Klein or any of the object relations theorists? If so, are you aware that the work of Deleuze and Guattari works on the basis of heavily emphasizing a preference for an object relations state of mind, over viewing others as complete, free-standing persons?
If, then, males are viewed by human children (adults taking an infantile perspective) as the occasional whip-hand on their consciousness (just a hand) and women are taken, according to capricious emotional flooding, alternatively as a "good breast" (nice nurturing source of origin) and a "bad breast" (evil withholding object), I suppose fully grown women have nothing to fear from that????
I suppose if fully grown women are already assured of a job and protection of their intellectual and emotional integrity from the vagaries of the system and the psychical forces within it, fully grown women have nothing to fear from early childhood notions and perspectives dominating the public space.
BUt that is entirely a contradiction in terms. In fact, one has everything to fear from that, above all psychical disintegration and extreme material impoverishment. Even the capacity to be logical about this and to even SEE the contradiction I have outlined above will not be possible for people who simply immerse themselves in a field of objects and act in ways conditioned by their early childhood experiences.
