↳ “Yeah? I’ll tell you what: until I get back my five thousand dollars, you’re gonna get more than you bargained for. I’m your goddamn partner!”
My top three feminist exploitations of male-default language:
1. “Valar morghulis. All men must die.” “Yes, but we are not men.” - Daenerys, Game of Thrones
2. “No man can kill me!” “I am no man!!!!” - Eowyn, LotR: Return of the King
3. “God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God creates man. Man destroys God. Man creates dinosaurs.” “Dinosaurs eat man. Woman inherits the earth.” - Dr. Ellie Sattler, Jurassic Park
Although history should not become a straitjacket, which overwhelms and binds, neither should it be forgotten. One must critique it, test it, confront it, and understand it in order to achieve a freedom that is more than license, to achieve true, adult agency. If you penetrate the seduction … then it becomes possible to confront your own history—to forget what ought to be forgotten and use what is useful—such true agency is made possible.
