Queer Theory and what it apparently advocates

uhhhhhhh that’s a no, dawg.
Gayle Rubin, Pat Califia, Michel Foucault - the first queer theorists - all openly advocated for pedophilia, and the founding document of queer theory “Thinking Sex” spends over half its length supporting NAMBLA and man-boy lovers. All the original queer theorists argued for a total transgression of every sexual norm, and for people to apply anarchist theory to sexuality, including pedophilia. It’s not just a way to analyze literature. There is a reason so many troons will have “AOA:16-18” of age of attraction 16-18 in their twitter bios. I forget which, but there’s even a queer NYT author who talks a lot about AOA/NOMAPs on twitter and slips it in with his articles.

Gay men had to kick out the pedophiles when gay rights first started. It wasn’t just some gossip that gay men wanted to fuck kids, pedophiles (especially man-boy lovers) were trying to get accepted in the same push as regular gay and lesbians in the 1970s. They went into the shadows, wrote essays in liberal arts colleges, called it “queer theory” and started to wear people down.

That’s why troons are not just stopping at being accepted at work. Trooning kids, sexually grooming kids, people like Yaniv hosting a children’s pool party without adults to supervise, forcing men to lick a stink ditch or else you’re TrAnSpHoBiC. They not only want to force your standards and barriers to sexual consent to disappear, but to make you unable to speak up.

As I said earlier in the thread - it’s anarchism for degenerate fetish people, and to treat it like a harmless civil rights movement that kills troons if you don’t participate is the optics these losers want.

I’m sperging out and MATI now

here is the definition of queer theory, given by one of the most important queer theorists
Queer is by definition whatever is at odds with the normal,
the legitimate, the dominant. There is nothing in particular
to which it necessarily refers. It is an identity without an essence.

another, by someone not so famous

Anti-social queer theory . . . is a queer critique that aims to decenter positivity, productivity, redemptive politics of affirmation, narratives of success, and politics that are founded on hope for an imagined future. It�s rude politics and has no interest in being polite. It embraces masochism, anti-production, self-destructiveness, abjection, forgetfulness, radical passivity, aggressive negation, unintelligibility, negativity, punk pugilism, and anti-social attitudes as a form of resistance to liberal feminist and gay politics of cohesion. It�s about not-becoming because the notion of becoming is perceived as following the capitalist logic of production and models of success that are often tied up with colonialism. It asks, why the fuck should queers be nice? And asserts that politeness is heteronormative and we should embrace our utter failure at functioning within a colonialist, heteronormative, capitalist, racist, sexist and transphobic framework.

Like communists and homosexuals in the 1950s,
boylovers are so stigmatized that it is difficult
to find defenders for their civil liberties,
let alone for their erotic orientation.

i can go all day providing sources for how the point of queer theory is to destroy all social norms.

lesbians and gay men have been fighting it for almost four decades. here are a lesbian and two gay men going after queer theory


here is a lesbian and two gay men

As lesbian feminist Sheila Jeffreys writes in Unpacking Queer Politics, �The harmful [sexual] practices that have developed in this period have all been given theoretical justification within queer theory and politics. . . . The new politics was based, quite explicitly, upon a repudiation of lesbian feminist ideas. Queer politics enshrined a cult of masculinity. . . . [T]he political agenda of queer politics is damaging to the interests of lesbians, women in general, and to marginalized and vulnerable constituencies of gay men.�[1]

Gay male author Gabriel Rotello states, �Queer theory seeks to overturn society�s traditional views of sex and sexuality. No one would be stigmatized, no matter what they do; we�re not going to care about social approval. They think society is inherently repressive. But in this epidemic [AIDS] it is impossible to advocate a system in which everything is okay.�[2]
I would say it�s always impossible to advocate a system in which everything is okay.

Andrew Sullivan, another gay writer, has characterized the �essential argument� of queer theory as promoting the notion that �there is no such thing as responsibility, and any attempt to go by the rules is oppressive.�[3]

you'll note BOTH of the men echoed what i said, about how queer theory is about destroying the distinction between what is and isn't socially acceptable. that's the whole fucking point of queer theory.

According to Wikipedia:

Queer theory is a field of critical theory that emerged in the early 1990s out of the fields of queer studies and women's studies.

It always comes back to feminists.

So yeah, does the above make sense to you guys, what do you think?
 
A whole lot of the gay men I know really really do not like this shit.

They just want to live their lives in peace with their significant others.

That's precisely why this is about Queer Theory, which as Queer Theorists themselves admit by demonising and ostracising Peter Thiel, does not actually include in their community everyone who meets their definition of "LGBTQ" (add as many extra letters as you like).

That's been the central dichotomy amongst male homosexuality since the get-go.

Is it A) a wholly encompassing and often self-ghettoizing tribal community with extensive non-sexual interests, or B) just men who want to date and have sex with men and are otherwise indistinguishable from the rest of the male population?

A was pretty much inevitable when the population had very negative views of male homosexuality. B was a major feature in going from "moral degenerate!" to "meh, more women for me!" as a societal attitude. Of course, B depended on A changing attitudes enough for B to be viable.

Now that nobody cares, you have lots of activists who have no other skills, so of course they have to carry on fighting despite having achieved victory.
 
It's worth noting that Andrew Sullivan is probably hostile to queer theory.

Half the reason I hate this nonsense is that it's another head of the PoMo hydra.
 
Guys, for the last time, there is absolutely no link between homosexuality and pedophilia.



*cough*
Link, no.

Now, with that said, there's long been a cult of youth, twinks and barely legal boys, which puts a gay guy's peak desirability in his late teens/early twenties and declining precipitously afterwards - see "gay death after 30." There's also lots of Peter Pan syndrome, men desperately holding on to lost youth, and the like. Obviously, YMMV.

But that's not much different than straight men of any age chasing barely legal women in their late teens/early twenties, and for much the same reasons.
 
And there definitely aren't any more pedophiles amongst homosexuals, per volume, than there are amongst heterosexuals.
That gets you onto some shaky ground, depending on definitions and how you measure and analyze. The whole lies, damn lies, and statistics bit.

I am always cautious about politically-volatile sociological research, or sociology in general. There is lots of pressure to achieve the "right" results (which often depends on your politics). Then there are the vast methodological flaws that many sociological analyses have, ranging from assuming a framework for your data before you collect it to insufficient statistical rigor. As a result, you really do have to do a rigorous methods section review to review said literature.

Having thrown out that sheet anchor, if we're using pedophile to mean pre-pubescent child rape, yes, you're probably right.

It's when you define pedophile as 15-18 year old victim, especially where ages of consent vary by state and/or the teen victim is willing but unable to legally consent that things get sticky to quantify. There you have lots of confounding behaviors that make a clean "straight vs. gay" analysis difficult.

The fact that most homosexuals were themselves raped as children would be pretty damming.

I mean, if that were the case. I'm sure it isn't.

There would have to be a lot of raped children nationwide for that to be the case.
 
If you have to justify your preference of sexual genitalia through reams of "academic" gobbledygook it is probably a load of bullshit. Especially if you try to justify it through "Critical Theory" and the godforsaken Women Studies (what do they even do in that course??).

Of course except if it's in a medical journal. And even then not always.

Medical and epidemiological journals require much more rigorous statistical methods. They also have much shorter word limits.
