Ah, “high-sounding opacities of language.” Oh boy, does that speak to me. “Intertextuality,” “the male gaze,” for example in the classics. “Regression in the service of the Ego” in Freudian analytics. “Correction” in discussion of stock market nose dives. Blather. They all mean something, even something real, but as a possessor of The Male Gaze, I can’t avoid it, and, within some serious limits, would never want to, ever. I am very visual, auditory also. I would never lower my estimate of un”beautiful” people; they are only what they are, and bless them for being alive. So, since this is a non-vanishing thread, I’m on record here as a sinner, if that be a Sin (rather than an estimate, however faulty, of the bio health of my neighbors). We, you included, could do a valuable thread on academic bullshit.
