A Portuguese Freakazoid | Clarissa's Blog
Yeah, I've had the same thing addressed at me precisely, namely that if I do not always feel like I fit the feminine role, which is after all a social construct, and indeed narrower than the gender constructs I was brought up with, then I must necessarily be a "leftwing fascist". I don't know why this is, but I suppose the masses of people get to decide what is conventional and it SEEMS very powerful to be able to say, "I won't go along with that." But actually as someone on this site wrote to me recently, it isn't always "a choice", so one is not necessarily powerful just by pointing out that there is something that one cannot do.
