Comments on: Strike our debt/This is not a piece about gratitude http://urbanhonking.com/pica/2012/09/16/strike-our-debt/ Tue, 19 Mar 2013 23:29:54 +0000 hourly 1 By: Keith http://urbanhonking.com/pica/2012/09/16/strike-our-debt/#comment-2323 Sat, 06 Oct 2012 07:14:56 +0000 http://urbanhonking.com/pica/?p=2776#comment-2323 Thanks for writing. I think we experience many of the same contradictions that you note. Especially a distaste for political theater tropes even when some of us are convinced either sincerely or as a generative failure in presenting these tropes. And also with respect to the issue of appearing free versus being free and questioning what kind of liberation the theater/art frame can manifest anyway.

But we’re super troubled and/or confused by the charge of or suggestion of misogyny. Please say more – here or in a personal email. Economies, hierarchies and tropes of gender as well as gender expression, critique, theory, performance, representation, and perception are very dynamic in our process. I mean we talk about it a lot and challenge each other too. We disagree (on everything but especially) on which political strategies and languages best respond to racism/sexism

As a primarily lgbt/queer/two spirit team with various levels of commitment to and engagement with feminism, we want to better understand how some folks read “various forms of misogyny” in our collective work. Again thanks.
