I will be at the 8PM showing. And for those who want more background on queerness in Batman, you can read my essay on 1990s Batman cinema on Screen Slate.

Batman of the 1990s (or, Batman Needs an Enema!)
Batman needs an enema! One only has to take a cursory look through police department Facebook pages to see Batmanphilia in full effect, with particular emphasis on the Christopher Nolan and Zack Snyde...

This is exactly why people who labor in the s3xual ec0nomy are isolated, harmed or worse, m*rdered.

Said differently, wh0res cannot actually be r*ped or violated. That’s what that ruling just determined.

Anti-Blackness performed a work within this case.

This case pretty much said Cassie and the Jane Doe are pr0stitutes so therefore they were participants in their own violation and undoing.

(5/5) "Though [Ayanna Dozier's] exploration of...the psychosexual trappings of evangelism and the suppression of libidinal desires by belief systems is playful, the link between sex and religion are... explicit: ‘Both acts of submission required me to be on my knees.’"

Of course, she is notable for standing firmly in her racism as expressed in Against Our Will and believing that the history of lynching was one way in which people tried to “correct” the widespread problem of rape. Honestly, as a scholar, it is my mission that her work dies with her.

Her anti sex work drivel caused serious harm to workers and created and perpetuated the carceral rhetoric of imprisoning workers to “rehabilitate” them. Of course in her latter years her rhetoric opened the door for transphobia and even in the last decade became a staunch rape victim blamer.
