“Pleasure activism asserts that we all need and deserve pleasure, and that our social structures must reflect this. In this moment, we must prioritize the pleasure of those most impacted by oppression,” she writes in the introduction.
Lmao isn't this is literally just hedonism but with extra steps
can't wait to see how this gets stolen by trans activists. "My Pleasure Activism says you have to suck my ladydick or you're a bigot! My pleasure is more important than yours!"
I love how every humanities academic has one shit gimmick concept they just try and spam everywhere. Like just come up with a new word and run around saying it while mentioning your an academic. That way eventually everyone else starts saying it to sound smart, because academic jargon is smart, you get a new term to just start using around people without explanation and act all smug and obnoxiously faux shocked when they ask for it to be explained. Better yet is when they have to much pride to admit that they don't understand what you're saying, they try to pick up the meaning from context and pretend they know what you're talking about, in fact they've come up with a different slightly or largely incorrect definition of the term in their head, they start using it everywhere to sound smart. And then you've got a nerd war on your hands as the nerds furiously correct one another.
Academia is basically a jargon factory tbh.
Like tbh math is a jargon. You know before the 17th century all math was done in native language? This sucked because it's often very difficult to explain a mathematical concept in plain language without getting lost. So that invented a new language without ambiguities, just numbers, variables, and a bunch of random squiggly lines that represent common functions. And it's infix too, which is retarded. Like I'm pretty sure that math uses infix notation purely because all the European languages that the notation was developed in were SVO, the verb (the function) is in between the nouns, so of course you put the function between the numbers like a retard and cause all sorts of problems down the line. Of course they didn't even know what linguistic syntax was, people wouldn't even start beginning to get a grasp on that until Noam Chomsky in the 60s, people kept on trying to abstract away features of language without even understanding how their language had inevitably influenced the concepts they were abstracting away.
There have actually been many attempts to extend the autism that is mathematics generally, create a universal objective language with no ambiguities in which everything can be perfectly understood. All of these are unbelievable horseshit. Like the first attempt was this dude in the 1700s, he basically made a taxonomy of knowledge where he grouped all the shit he could think about into this weird knowledge tree, and at the each node of the knowledge tree he'd have a single concept, and helpfully he'd provide all the examples of English words which redudantly had the same meaning as the concept represented as that node, and he'd make up some horseshit compound word which was basically all the previous points in the knowledge tree added together. The end product was basically that you'd wind up traversing an incredibly difficult to use thesaurus, and then write those words down to make your language.
In what order did you write the words down? Well again, this was 200 years before scientists had the faintest clue what linguistic syntax was, so it was basically English syntax with different words, he had no meta understanding of syntax so he assumed that was just how words were written I guess.
Literally this latter went on to become the first thesaurus, they ripped out the shitty knowledge tree method traversal, just listed every word next to its synonyms in alphabetical order and then you could find other synonyms. Dude literally spent his life autistically trying to get rid of synonyms, because he thought that would basically create math except for everything, and all he accomplished was providing a way for nerds to figure out how to spice up their shit with really obscure synonyms. Sad.
Later attempts at creating perfect universal languages include a weird movement in the 50s where people started making up symbols for each word, because they thought that would make things super clear for some reason (also, yet again, this was pre-chomsky so it was basically English except you had to memorization thousands of symbols). And in the 80s more autists came up with lojban which is supposedly a perfectly logical language based around formal logic. Except formal logic is basically a math, it's strictly defined and your can't say much in it, there are also different kinds of formal logics like Aristotelian logic and term logic, and once you've made that into a language by definition you've introduced an incredible amount of informality and vagueness because otherwise your couldn't say anything. So yeah it's basically just a bunch of nerds walking around thinking they're smart because they're using constructs that sound vaguely logic like to them.
At least it was post-chomsky and the creator bothered to define an actual syntax for the language, so it's not just English with non English words like all the other systems. It's not any better than English, it's much worse, but at least it's not literally English with extra autism. You can thank Chomsky for that though, not them, seriously, just read Chomsky, he's very smart and he changed everything.
I like you better like this. Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help encourage you to post interesting shit like this, instead of quasi-neo-post-ironic liberal rage bait

This does more to suppress male virility than any soy drink you will ever drink.
