    Old Spice Guy + FEMINIST HULK + Judith Butler

    1. Old Spice Guy: "Hello, FEMINIST HULK. I observe that you are using lady-scented body wash."
    2. Feminist Hulk: "HULK FIND LAVENDER FRAGRANCE RELAXING AFTER DAY OF SMASH."
    3. Old Spice Guy: "Wouldn't you like to smell like me?"
    4. Feminist Hulk: "HULK WOULD RATHER SMASH GENDER BINARY OF PERFORMATIVE SHOWERING."
    5. Old Spice Guy: "Your tiny purple shorts hanging on the towel rack now hold tickets to the Sleater-Kinney reunion concert. And diamonds."
    6. Feminist Hulk: "HULK ENJOY CORIN TUCKER'S REJECTION OF TRADITIONAL GENDER ROLES AND CONSUMERISM. BUT DIAMONDS MAKE HULK WANT TO SMASH HEGEMONY OF POST-COLONIAL OPPRESSION. ALSO, STILL PREFER TO SMELL LIKE FIELD OF FLOWERS."
    7. Old Spice Guy: "You puzzle me, Feminist Hulk. Your wish to use lady-scented body wash, even whilst smelling the intoxicating scent of my Old Spice, is unparalleled in my experience. "
    8. Judith Butler: "Feminist Hulk makes a good critique, Old Spice Man. Your discourse is being circumscribed by a learned sex/gender distinction. Please pass me the loofah."
    9. Old Spice Guy: "Hello, Judith Butler. Allow me to scrub your back. So you and Feminist Hulk are saying that my devotion to Old Spice body wash might be part of a larger regulative discourse to maintain an essential ontological gender?"
    10. Judith Butler: "That's correct, Old Spice Man."
    11. Feminist Hulk: "HULK SMASH EPISTEMOLOGICAL FRAMEWORKS, WHILE SMELLING LIKE SPRING GARDEN."
    12. Old Spice Guy: "I understand. Allow me to bake you a cake, Feminist Hulk and Judith Butler, while we discuss intersectionality and the beauty of giant green muscles."
    13. Judith Butler: "Congratulations on making a break with compulsory heterosexuality, Old Spice Man."
    14. Femist Hulk: "HULK IS VERY HAPPY TO SHARE TEARS OF JOY AND ORGANIC WHOLE WHEAT PASTRY FLOUR WITH OLD SPICE MAN AND JUDITH BUTLER."
    15. Old Spice Guy: "I'm on a unicorn."

    These days, as a middle-aged and respectable author, I still feel a sense of indeterminate but infinite possibility on entering a lift, particularly a small one with white walls. That to date the doors that have opened have always done so in the same time, and world, and even the same building in which I started out seems merely fortuitous – evidence only of a lack of imagination on the part of the rest of the universe.

    I do not confuse what has not happened with what cannot happen, and in my heart, Time and Space are endlessly malleable, permeable, frangible.

    You get so tired. You get so sick of the homophobia, the sexism, the culture of rape jokes and wife beating cartoons. But today you can take 30 seconds and smile. Somewhere right now there is a daddy dancing along while his femmy boy sings Lady Gaga. Somewhere right now there is a little girl suiting up to go play football with her peewee team. Somewhere there is a woman taking off the clothes she hates and pulling on a pair of pants. And there are boys holding hands in front of Dairy Queen and there are girls on their first date at the mall. There is a mom driving her son to the court so he can change his name from Brittney to Brandon. There is a family supporting their daughter after she reveals sexual abuse. There is a foster parent hesitantly walking into his first PFLAG meeting. And there exists more freedom, more equality, more safety than has ever existed before in the history of humanity. Of course it’s not enough. But it is amazing just the same. And you have done this. This did not happen despite our tears and our sweat, our humiliation and betrayal. This happened because of it.

    Keep fighting.

    Keep being that “annoying” dude pointing out every sexist remark.

    Keep voting.

    Keep protesting.

    And don’t you EVER let the other side get you down. They know that wearing you out is all they have left. What they do not know is that because of you, their children are safer. Because of you, our schools talk about bullying. Because of you, sexual harassment is illegal at their place of business.

    you’re doing it right.

    What have I been up to lately?

    Well, maybe I will try to write interesting stuff in here more after all.  Let’s see…

    Well, I’ve had a fun lesson recently in practicing what you preach.  I always tell students I work with that are worried about the future and their careers that they need to follow their passion.  Life is too short to spend more of it miserable than you have to.

    So when I realized recently that this job in Arizona wasn’t really my thing - and neither was being far away from my partner and friends/family, and neither was being in a state that’s stopped even pretending to not be racist - it was time to put my money where my mouth is.  Do I head back home to an uncertain job market or stay where I have a safe income but spend way more of my time unhappy than I wanted to?

    Well, I made the choice to come home.  My contract was through the end of June anyway, so I just made the choice to not renew it (it’s kind of a nice feeling, having been on the other end of that scenario several times now).

    Did I make the right decision?  I question it every day - could I have made myself happy here?  The answer is yes - happiness comes from within ultimately, and if I had managed to change my attitude enough, I could have hung in there.  Could have built up a better support group, found ways to cope, things to enjoy about where I am, reframe the negative into a positive, all that stuff.

    But…I had the opportunity to go back somewhere where I can invest my energy into love and into being happy, rather than investing it all into not being miserable.  Not everyone has that opportunity - it’s so easy to get stuck into a situation you can’t get out of.  I felt I owed it to myself to put into practice the kind of philosophy I had always espoused.

    So now it’s time to hit the California job market again - and it better watch out because I’m going to rock it’s world! :)
