A lot of gender studies, queer studies, etc boils down to referencing your knowledge about marganilized people to boost your own authority within a system of power, while speaking over and without marganilized people.
For the record, what I’m saying is not: do gender studies better.
What I’m saying is: stop thinking you can change things by becoming a person whose authority is recognized within an oppressive system of power. Or that you’ll find the tools for revolutionary change within that system.
Get out of the university, ditch your need to feel knowledgeable and the inaccessible language that goes with it. Just change the world with the rest of us.
