This paper theorizes that one future pedagogical priority of women’s studies is to train students not only to master a body of knowledge but also to serve as symbolic “viruses” that infect, unsettle, and disrupt traditional and entrenched fields. In this essay, we first posit how the metaphor of the virus in part exemplifies an ideal feminist pedagogy, and we then investigate how both women’s studies and the spread of actual viruses (e.g., Ebola, HIV) produce similar kinds of emotional responses in others.

Critical Theory. <chef’s kiss>

Emphasis mine.

Corporate Headquarters is not where the magic happens.

Amazing because that’s where the tax breaks that we are told over and over power the economy accrue to…

Which part are you saying “no it isn’t” about?

WuWei:

I would never do that. There’s no way you can live by my values.

Your values, which I probably do disagree with much, does not deem you a subhuman or virus. The inability to disagree, without labeling one’s opposition a virus…goes against one of the most basic principles and foundation of our Republic.

We don’t “disagree” anymore when you © impose.

The People may impose something on you, and I may or may not agree with whatever that is. Our democratic, republican system doing the imposing. Not me.

Pathetic.

Why are the values of people who think Taco Bueno is the best Mexican restaurant, better than mine?

The difference is I am not trying or even talking about “transforming” you.

All of it.

You have libs right here on this very forum advocating moving into other areas to influence their local politics.

You are not The People anymore than I am. Neither or “they”. Republic.

It is you.

So you were wrong…and right.

Good on you for understanding tax breaks don’t drive the economy.

Really?

Libs are using our system as a tool to impose themselves onto society.

50.1% gives them a mandate to impose.

Precisely…

No…accept they’re racist and bigots.

Now I know what you’re going to say…being called a virus is worst because viruses aren’t human.

Well, there are racists and bigots. Some are in both parties. And they do need to be exposed, especially when they are in positions of power.

There is a history of people in power labeling people as subhuman. It is not good.

When people start believing that people they do not agree with are subhuman, bad things happen.

Not at all true. And now you are dismissed.

Yep…talking about it. People do not move for political reasons…they mostly move for financial reasons…or to be closer to their family.
