assemble some of your own posts into a proof text for that, or pick up an issue of Z. And as for Butler's criticisms, you mean to tell me there are no Marxists who think that feminism and the gay/lesbian movement are diversion from the real struggle, which is class struggle? You're not serious about that, are you?

To be fair, though, JB does just use a kind of reckless "they" in making these charges, as Hitch does. It's all the more contradictory for a student of Derrida, who is supposed to be about rigor and attention to detail. And it was most appalling to me b/c she would put everyone from Greider and you to Nancy Fraser into bed with Alan Sokal, which seems to me a bit much. The nuts at Syracuse and SUNY okay, but you? . . .
