I wonder if any of these theorists has given birth. (Pretty sure that’s a no for Butler.) as a woman who has given birth three times, I find the divorce of womanhood from physical reality incredibly insulting. I don’t often arrive at this point, but my response to this kind of theorizing is a resounding fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck yooooooou

Yeah, in fact the issue for many of them is precisely childbearing. They start out good, seeking to oppose reduction of women to their capacity to birth life. But then they keep going, and remove that aspect completely. In some cases, they are extreme anti-natalists, and a sense that women who do give birth are somehow lesser than women who do not tends to pervade a lot of their work.
Yeah, that’s garbage. And totally supports your assertion that the theoretical origami they’re doing is ultimately to make up for a sense of personal deficiency or resentment (ressentiment!) about having a nonstandard identity.
