“In an essay 10 years ago, I pointed out that it is utterly logical for polygamy rights to follow gay rights. After all, if traditional marriage is defined as the union of (1) two people of (2) opposite gender, and if, as advocates of gay marriage insist, the gender requirement is nothing but prejudice, exclusion and an arbitrary denial of one's autonomous choices in love, then the first requirement - the number restriction (two and only two) - is a similarly arbitrary, discriminatory and indefensible denial of individual choice.” PeopleIfsYearsFirstsTwoChoicesIndividualNumbersRightsGayYears AgoOppositesPrejudiceUnionsGenderTraditionalDefinedDenialLogicalRequirementsEssaysArbitraryGay MarriageRestrictionGay RightsExclusionPolygamyAutonomousTraditional MarriageIndividual Choice Author:Charles Krauthammer
“There is a tendency under capitalism system to reduce everything to a kind of commodity fetish, and this order tends to promote extremely conventional and uniform expressions of gender and sexuality in order to promote certain products and lifestyle choices that are commercialized. This necessarily entails a capitulation to heteronormativity, or in the case of the new gay movement, a "homonormativity" that doesn't stray far from the heterosexual paradigm. Anyone who questions these normative values and conventions is subject to disapproval, hostility, or even violence.” KindCertainValuesOrderChoicesCasesViolenceSubjectsMovementExpressionProductsGayCapitalismGenderSexualityLifestyleTendenciesConventionsConventionalUniformsCommodityHostilityParadigmFetishDisapprovalCapitulationLifestyle ChoicesGender And Sexuality Author:Bruce LaBruce
“The general public have a warped view of the speed at which an investigation proceeds. They like to imagine tense conversations going on behind the venetian blinds and unshaven, but ruggedly handsome, detectives working themselves with single-minded devotion into the bottle and marital breakdown. The truth is that at the end of the day, unless you've generated some sort of lead, you go home and get on with the important things in life - like drinking and sleeping, and if you're lucky, a relationship with the gender and sexual orientation of your choice.” IfsImportantEndsHomeChoicesSleepViewsBehindsImagineTruth IsLuckyConversationImportant ThingsDrinkingGenderSpeedDevotionThe End Of The DayBottlesThings In LifeInvestigationHandsomeTenseDetectivesBreakdownOrientationGeneral Public Book:Moon Over Soho Source: Moon Over Soho
“In colleges, there are no gender separations in courses of study, and students can freely choose their majors. There are no male and female math classes. But women generally choose college courses that pay less in the labor market. Those are the choices that women themselves make. Those choices contribute to the pay gap.” RealityChoicesCoursesCommunityWorkMoneyPayEducationClassStudyHuman NatureStudentsCollegeEqualMajorsCapitalismFemaleLaborMalesIndividualityGenderMathSeparationIdeologyGapsEqual RightsMath ClassPay GapCollege Courses Book:Phyllis Schlafly: Volume I Source: Phyllis Schlafly: Volume I
“I honor anybody who wants to be a man and do the work of becoming a man. I honor anyone who mindfully becomes a woman. That's cool. But, I really don't get how there's only two choices. There's no two of anything else in the entire universe; why should there only be two genders? I don't get it.” MenWantShouldTwoChoicesUniverseBecomingHonorGenderBe A ManTwo ChoicesBecoming A Man Author:Kate Bornstein
