she was ok until she started associating with zizek and laclau

Her 1999 award from Philosophy and Literature was richly deserved.

>I'm Too Fucking Lazy to Read, but I think the opinions on this board are legitimate. Please tell me about this Judith Butler figure whose name I've read a few times and whose Wikipedia article I nearly finished half of.

Look ma, the plebes are watching the philosophers like characters in their favorite Sitcom!

Hey how do you know what her writing style is like if you've never held one of her books in your hands?

Are you some kind of faggot?

Quoted By:

I only superficially know Judith Butler and her "role" as the prominent advocate for Gender Theory, Queer Theory, and the "Intersectionality"

Honestly it all seems like a fundamentalist position on dialectics as mode of social critique and with a heavy post 1960's feminist spin on it.

People like this seem to happen when academics spend so much time alone with books that they mistake reality for something that was written.

In other words, I can imagine her charging at some windmills.

I've read her style. It's exactly as impenetrable as femininity itself...

Also note how the most well-known women are usually lesbians (Sappho, Stein, Woolf, etc.)

Oh shit, is Weininger confirmed real from beyond the grave, AGAIN?

I met her at a convention once. I went to get my copy of gender trouble signed when she stood up and pointed at me. She muttered something about drag gender performance and jammed a red bic ball point pen in my left eye. The pen broke and the ink mixed with my vitreous humor and blood and spilled over my copy of gender trouble. It later sold for thirty-two hundred dollars on ebay.

Heard one of her lectures about Kafka. Women will always be better at ambiguity than men.

This comes to the fore when Butler's exegesis of Kafka's "The Coming of the Messiah" manages to be even more confusing and hard to follow than the famously cryptic passage itself.

I'm not here to argue on her behalf or otherwise. I'm here to remind you that you're a fraud for pretending to have a legitimate opinion on her work.

You're a posturing loser. Kill yourself. I've never read a Butler book and I won't pretend to have an opinion on her work until I do.
