Grab the link to the paper and follow along. Learn about where all this queer bullshite comes from and what the theory is really about in their words.
People have very rapidly realized, whether in Groomer Schools, marketing, or so many other corners of society that we’ve been suckered into supporting Queer Theory under the banner of a gay and lesbian civil rights movement. We’ve also figured out very quickly that Queer Theory is a branch of Identity Marxism: Queer Marxism, which takes “normalcy” as its special form of bourgeois property to abolish through (Queer) class struggle. Where, though, did Queer Theory come from? It is relatively widely accepted that the first real Queer Theory paper is Gayle Rubin’s 1984 essay “Thinking Sex,” which calls for a new radical politics of sexuality. To help people understand what Queer Theory is and always has been about, James Lindsay proudly hosts a three-part New Discourses Podcast series reading through “Thinking Sex” in full and offering his commentary on it. In this first part, we learn that Queer Theory from its very beginnings is profoundly interested in both child pornography and pedophilia. It’s almost shocking to hear. Join James to understand Queer Theory from its very origins.
Gayle Rubin’s shocking 1984 essay “Thinking Sex.” In this episode, he continues with a second part of Rubin’s essay in which it becomes clear that Queer Theory is all about breaking down all boundaries and categories between acceptable and unacceptable sexual behavior using explicitly Marxist-style analysis (Queer Theory is Queer Marxism).
The Queer Subversion of Feminism: Gayle Rubin’s “Thinking Sex” Part 3
In the previous two episodes of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay reads through the first two thirds of Gayle Rubin’s shocking 1984 essay, “Thinking Sex,” widely regarded as the first essay in Queer Theory. In it, as Rubin’s subtitle indicates, “Notes for a Radical Theory of the Politics of Sexuality,” she takes feminism (especially sex-negative radical feminism) to task for being insufficiently radical as a politics of sexuality. In fact, she accuses it (not entirely wrongly) of being resoundingly conservative with regard to sex and sexuality. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, James walks you through this most tedious portion of the essay where the seeds of subverting feminism itself are planted. Within just a couple of decades from this point, the Queer Marxist movement will have used Rubin’s call for a “radical theory of the politics of sexuality” to completely undermine the women’s movement and basically kill it and the category of “woman” itself. Join him to understand how it started.

“Groomer Schools”
sounds like a pretty good description of what ‘you people’ do to your private-schooled/home-schooled brood, turning them into sociopathic adults.

I vaguely recall hearing the name of this woman referenced as an inspirational source for the ever-so-obsequious Judith Butler. That is probably how it got enough “serious” traction to corrupt (at the time) the Third Wave and, unfortunately, bring us to the sicko levels we’re dealing with now; where: as sad as the personality disorders of these people are, from (what I suspect involved) hidden abuse committed by older men and/or truly evil family members, they are blind in the way their type-of Stockholm Syndrome response has inadvertently wound up serving EXACTLY the socially bankrupted/misogynist porn mentality SUPPORTING the *very male-centric bias* of men believing sex is an act of subjugation (hence, I feel, the reason for why they have such an obsession with trying to shove the acceptance of kink constantly into mainstream debate thesedays).

It seems to me that QT has quite a clear manifesto when it comes to what it wants to do and how it want to do it. QT needs to destabilize society and create a vulnerable class of people cut off from the previous generations values. Hence we see the main axis of attack through the schools, the media and the church. Children, once unmoored from their parents influence, can be molded into the next activist class of people willing to tear down society because they aren’t happy that society isn’t perfect.
QT seeks no accommodation with the rest of society, it seeks to burn it down and reforge society with the values QT holds dear at the centre.
Insidious stuff, if you ask me.

The Iron Law of Woke Projection never misses. Thank you for proving that point, again.
But really, SPV, take an intellectual risk and listen to part one of the series on Gayle Rubin has to say. This red team/blue team shtick you have going on is getting pretty old. Come back with an argument or a point of contention, maybe?
Or hey, if the drive by sneers is what wets your whistle, just keep on keeping on I suppose.
