It's a groundbreaking work but half the time two pages could have been two paragraphs, and two paragraphs should have been two pages. I feel like I would have been satisfied reading the last 15 pages, although the rest of the book is still valuable if only as a historical records of the contemporary ideas this stood against.

Intense intersexism while ultimately supporting the social cosntructedness of sex. It was 1990.criticalmiss's review against another edition

My oh my,,, this required a lot of chewing. A lot of digestion.. im clearly not well read enough to truly suck up all of the goodness but even in my blind state: Butler spitting the facts. Particularly fascinated by the concept of incest as a means of transferring sex to gender..,.,., needs a re read but only after a little more education . Knocked a star off, because my god is their style dense. it's actually incredible, but I am not educated enough to untwirl that spaghetti to its totality.

take your time and really allow yourself to absorb the material and think through the complexities of how we got here (here being a patriarchal society).

main takeaways being:
- knowing a lot more about psychoanalysis and lacanian stuff
- knowing a lot more about previous feminist theories
- a bit a bout performativity of gender
tbh i think butler's take on the idea of gender identity is rather brutal and it's obviously very subversive, but i just feel like there's too much critique on other people's previous work instead of a great deal about her idea of what gender identity should be about and based on. it feels constrained by its own discourse in a way, which is ironic as well. but then, it's totally a valid and great theory.
