je crois que je viens de me faire call out par mon critique littéraire préféré…

“Or l’exposé de cette jouissance risque d’exaspérer, car elle peut conduire les lecteurs – ou en tout cas certains d’entre eux – à se sentir exclus. Il n’est pas sûr qu’Oberman soit aussi ennuyeux parce qu’on y parle continûment d’ennui. Je ferais plutôt l’hypothèse inverse, en supposant que l’ennuyeux tient à la passion d’Oberman pour son sujet, passion qui l’isole de son public beaucoup plus que son thème ostensible. Ainsi en arrive-t-on à ce paradoxe, que l’on pourrait appeler «paradoxe d’Oberman»: plus l’écrivain parle de ce qui l’intéresse, et moins il a de chances d’intéresser lle lecteur. L’objet de cet «intérêt» ne désignant pas n’importe quel thème d’écriture, mais, au-delà des objets transitoires de discours, ces fantasmes qui le mobilisent et sont au cœur même de son désir. Un objet si singulier, et appelant une écriture si spécifique, qu’on pourrait le définir comme étant très précisément ce à quoi les autres n’ont pas accès. Dire que l’écrivain a toutes les chances d’ennuyer quand il parle de ce qui l’intéresse n’équivaut pas à dire qu’il ennuie nécessairement quand il parle de lui. Outre qu’il est impossible de faire autrement, parler de soi-même n’implique pas de susciter l’ennui, et ce ne sont pas les autobiographies passionnantes qui manquent. C’est l’objet de son désir qui est en cause, ou plus précisément ce lieu extrême du désir que l’Autre ne peut atteindre et dont l’exposition le rejette, dans la mesure où elle implique un mouvement d’exclusion de ce qui n’est pas soi.La marge ici est étroite. Il n’y a pas de texte intéressant où l’écrivain n’engage son désir, et c’est pourtant cet engagement qui est le plus susceptible de l’isoler. Si l’écrivain met en scène des fantasmes partageables, il peut espérer séduire ou garder ses lecteurs. S’il s’engage dans une fantasmatique trop privée (comme ici la passion pour le vide), il court le risque de les perdre. D’où la difficulté à susciter cette aire d’échanges inconscients sans laquelle la communication a vite fait de se rompre.“

(Pierre Bayard, Comment ennuyer le lecteur) (je souligne btw)

“s’il s’engage dans une fantasmatique trop privée (comme ici la passion pour l vide), il court le risque de perdre ses lecteurs”

“comme ici la passion pour le vide”

real talk tho why are older people always angry for the most ridiculous shit?? like something relatively irritating but completely mundane and insignificant happens and theyre all like………….. Big Mad. why? chill 

like my WHOLE ENTIRE FAMILY trahtalked my grandma’s ex for years because he once ate too much cheese at a family dinner like… he just. cut himself a block of cheese that was Too Big for them… and they’ve been mad about this since 2011… saying things like “when you don’t have a proper education you don’t get to eat cheese!!!!!” “if you really want that much cheese at least you should have it in two settings!!!!!!!!!!” “it’s literally inhumane to cut oneself such a big block of cheese!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” like………….. C H I L L alright. 

well now that i think about it it’s probably more of a “white french person” kind of thing because i know this girl my age who is constantly mad about how they use LED neons on the Champs-Élysées during christmas time and she’s like….. “i HATE LED LIGHTS i can’t see one WITHOUT WANTING TO PUKE i just CAN’T GO NEAR A LED LIGHT OR ILL DIE” so…

Me and my father were shopping last year and a woman who was clearly occupied with her kids dropped something and didnt notice, so my father, instead of picking it up, points at it and tells her that she dropped it. She obviously didnt speak german very good so she just picks it up and looks at us (and she looked hella stressed) and leaves. He proceeded to rant about how “these people” never say thank you for 10 minutes.

ok but can you imagine a worse, more terrifying fate than medusa’s one? just imagine. first of all you’re raped in your goddess’ temple. which, apart from the obvious trauma, means you can’t keep doing what you devoted your entire life to. your goddess gifts you with the ability to turn those you look at into stone and your hair into snakes so that you can defend yourself and be a threat rather than a victim to men. and then?????? a fucking MAN decides hes gonna hunt you down and slaughter you for…. sport like just because he can?????? and not only does he kill you but he keeps your head as a weapon???????? effectively using you and your body for his own purpose exactly like your rapist??????????????? like??? and this man is considered a hero while you’ll be remembered as a monstruous, dangerous entity???????????????????? medusa deserved better smh

wow the medusa avenging squad rly is there!!! make some noise ladies

The Lusty Argonian Maid, contrary to popular belief, was not written by Crassus Curio. Indeed, the comic and sexual content and the political subtext

that are suggested

(master/slave relationship) tend to make us believe the play was instead written by Aristophanes. Or, at most, if we consider Crassus Curio is the actual author of the play, it is merely a translation of Aristophanes’ work. In this essay, I will

For example Frederick Douglas’ wife did so much for his ungrateful ass. She helped him get on his feet, gave him her last name, and supported him financially and took care of house and home. And in return was does this nigga do? He lets white abolitionists tear her down and treat her like a slave in HER HOUSE. Moved two bitches into HER HOUSE over a span of 20 years. Belittles her for being illiterate while using HER MONEY. Not even in death does she get the respect she deserves. His last wife is more recognized as being apart of his life than she was. Just trash. And y’all still normalize that shit as if it’s a black woman’s job to struggle. Fuck that.

Fuck Frederick Douglas.

That negro was a massive hypocrite. How the fuck you wanna abolish slavery and support women’s rights, then treat your own wife like shit?????????????????

^^^^ history left her out of his story too. Claiming his parents have him money to start up when it was her.

Don’t forget MLK and Malcolm X

My heart broke a little but I’m not surprised. What did Malcolm do ?

I don’t know about Malcolm X, but I know that Martin Luther King was in love with a white caferteria lady name Betty that he was seeing while he was attending college. The only reason why he married Coretta and not the cafeteria worker is because his dad frowned upon it. Not only that but his best friend

Ralph Abernathy

and Jackie Onassis exposed him for being a sex craved phony that loved cheating on Coretta. I guarantee that if black women from the civil rights era could talk now, our heads would explode. 

I mean if we’re gonna spill tea

Our community has always treated us like shit no matter what. Not to mention Miss Claudette Colvin who was the actually pioneer of the Civil Rights Movement. She was arrested for not giving up her seat on the bus 9 months before Rosa but she was a dark skinned single mother so she wasn’t good enough. 

Let’s not forget Black Panther’s leader Eldridge Cleaver and his famous book “Soul On Ice” where he recounts how he practiced raping black women because he knew no one would care and when he “mastered his craft” he starting raping white women. Also let’s never forget that he said that there is no more love left between black women and men and that everytime he embraces a black woman, he embraces slavery. Y’all gon’ get this history lesson today!

Wow… and somehow I’m not even surprised.

I knew all of that. Martin was constantly cheating with white prostitutes even a German exchange student while protesting civil right. Cleaver was the worst. Preying on and raping young black girls in the hood as practice for raping white women. Claudette is still referenced as “the other rosa parks” when the light bright brigade “NAACP” weren’t gonna let her share her story to begin with.

Let this post never die. Black women were NEVER respected back in the day, and we’re STILL getting disrespected every minute.

Wow….

[reasons why I think most Black dudes r performative when it comes to being *proBlack* n only know how to mirror yt ally theater/chase yt validation. n nonBlack ppl better back the fuck off this post and start combatting the antiBlackness before they even think of comment.]

Just a reminder that Claudette Colvin didn’t get pregnant until 3 months after refusing her seat on the bus. She was a poor dark skinned girl. In her words “they wanted someone PEOPLE would sympathize with and I didn’t look like that.” Colorism AND Classism waaaay before Instagram 🙂

Bruh I learned all of this and more in my civil rights history class last semester. My professor actually got her doctorate in black women in the black power movement. Even though two black men from California started the radical group as we know it, black women did most of the work and kept the group afloat. By the 80s it was largely female led. Also, elderidge cleaver wrote an essay after getting out of prison where he recanted everything he said in soul on ice and this was largely due to the fact that women were running the bpp and told him he couldn’t join if he was to co tibie to perpetuate this rape nonsense.

Also also claudette Colvin wasn’t the only one who was forgotten during the Montgomery bus boycott. Do y’all know who Jo Ann Robinson is? Home girl was the backbone to the whole movement tbh. Yeah rosa (a trained activist btw) was the igniting flame and yes in her documents and Jo Ann’s Claudette was credited as the inspiration, but jo Ann really kept the movement running. She organized car pools for all the black folks in Montgomery. Y’all the Montgomery bus boycott lasted for a year! People still had to get to work and shit. Jo Ann was on it! Plus she had a whole committee that was pushing for regulation changes and the end of segregation in busing. And hell, Montgomery buses were damn near reliant on black commuters so they eventually had to give.

Plus my all time fave is the homie Ella baker. Home girl ensured the founding of sncc when fuckboy Mlk tried to make them the youth chapter of the sclc. SNCC is the group that made sit ins a popular form of protest during the early civil rights movement. They founding students had their first sit in in 1960. Ella baker was like these students need their own separate movement and the sclc ain’t it. Plus she was a true proponent of self determination which was clear in everything that sncc did.

Basically what I’m trying to say is black women been the backbone of society and they still are.

Let’s also talk about how Huey P Newton, the founder of the BPP ordered the severe beating of Regina Davis. Regina Davis was an administrator at a BP school and was literally jumped for reprimanding a male BP member. She was beaten so bad that she was in the hospital for a broken jaw and had to flee to LA for her own safety. Her attack was a deliberate message to all female BP because the men were getting  upset with the increasing power black women had in the party and wanted to put them in their place.

In 1974 Huey P Newton also shot and killed a 17 year old sex worker in Oakland named Kathleen Smith in the face for calling him “baby” and because she didn’t give him the “respect” he wanted (x) 

and who could forget good ol’ Harry Belafonte and how he treated Ertha Kitt way back when

Ellen Holly was a super light skin soap opera actress who claimed to have a similar experience with Harry Belafonte before he married a white woman and called him out in her autobiography about his behavior towards black women

That’s why no men have no place in feminism

Liberal feminism has been known to erase moc misogyny
