Didn't have much time to write during the hurry-up-and-wait of
commencement weekend, but I did get a chance to read (especially during Tony Blair's address, which was, as far as I can tell, equal parts decent humor and enthusiasm for globalization). From Joanna Zylinska's
On Spiders, Cyborgs, and Being Scared: The Feminine and the Sublime:
The acknowledgement of the sexual aspect of living beings is an acceptance of lack (where the recognition that "I am sexed" stands for "I am not everything"); it is a sign of both our limitation and communality. Sexual difference thus reveals that we are neither universal (i.e. sex-less) nor singular.
Gay marriage advocates—your take on this?
