fandomnumbergeneratorOutward Podacst: The "Town and Country" Edition
Every Miley Cyrus quote I’ve heard from that Vanity Fair article makes me cringe, like, please don’t say stupid shit and claim to be representing bi women. But when people feel cornered, they stay stupid defensive shit. Second Wave feminism spent so much effort policing women’s gender and sexuality, and then you get Choice Feminism, which is morally hollow and makes Third Wave feminism look meaningless. The only thing you can do is say, “I don’t need to answer than. I am allowed to have privacy from misogynistic policing.”
Christina Cauterucci is absolutely the last person I want to hear talking about bisexuality. Her claim that Cyrus is responding to attacks that no one is making against bi women in long term relationships with men is ludicrous. Is she going to say the same thing about Stephanie Beatriz , who made a much more thoughtful statement about exactly the same issue, because obviously it’s a thing that is a big issue for bi women, inside and outside the queer community. And Cauterucci in particular has no leg to stand on since she is constantly calling people out as fake queer (including Lady Gaga).
But the interviews with the authors of When Brooklyn Was Queer and Real Queer America were super interesting, and definitely worth listening to.
