Sexual Harassment Law Is Very Important. But

We Have To Be Able Track The Ways In Which Fear, For Instance, Is Monopolised By State And Media Institutions, Ways In Which Fear Is Actually Promoted And Distributed As A Way Of Bolstering The Need For Greater Security And Militarisation.

We Cannot Choose With Whom We Cohabit The World.

Gender Is Not Something That One Is, It Is Something One Does, An Act... A "doing" Rather Than A "being". There Is No Gender Identity Behind The Expressions Of Gender; That Identity Is Performatively Constituted By The Very "expressions" That Are Said To Be Its Results. If The Immutable Character Of Sex Is Contested, Perhaps This Construct Called 'sex' Is As Culturally Constructed As Gender; Indeed, Perhaps It Was Always Already Gender, With The Consequence That The Distinction Between Sex And Gender Turns Out To Be No Distinction At All.

Perhaps The Promise Of Phallus Is Always Dissatisfying In Some Way.

Do We Need Recourse To A Happier State Before The Law In Order To Maintain That Contemporary Gender Relations And The Punitive Production Of Gender Identities Are Oppressive?
