I JUST HAD SEX

 

Something beautiful happens in this world (Akon! )
You don't know how to express yourself, so (And Lonely Island! )
You just gotta sing

I just had sex (Ay)
And it felt so good (Felt so good)
A woman let me put my penis inside of her (Her)
I just had se-ay-ee-ex
And I'll never go back (Never go back)
To the not-havin'-sex ways of the past

Have you ever had sex? I have, it felt great (Yeah)
It felt so good when I did it with my penis (Yeah)
A girl let me do it, it literally just happened
Having sex should make a nice man out the meanest

Never guess where I just came from, I had sex
If I had to describe the feelin', it was the best
When I had the sex, man, my penis felt great
And I called my parents right after I was done

Oh, hey, didn't see you there, guess what I just did?
Had sex, undressed, saw her boobies and the rest
(Was sure nice of her to let you do that thing)
Nice of any girl ever (Now sing)

I just had sex (Ay)
And it felt so good (Felt so good)
A woman let me put my penis inside of her (Her)
I wanna tell the world

To be honest, I'm surprised she even wanted me to do it
(Doesn't really make sense) But man, screw it
(I ain't one to argue with a good thing) She could be my wife!
(That good?) The best thirty seconds of my life

I'm so humbled by a girl's ability to let me do her
'Cause honestly, I'd have sex with a pile of manure
With that in mind, a soft, nice-smellin' girl's better
Plus she let me wear my chain and my turtleneck sweaters

So this one's dedicated to them girls
That let us flop around on top of them
If you're near or far, whether short or tall
We wanna thank you all for lettin' us fuck you

She kept lookin' at her watch (Doesn't matter, had sex! )
But I cried the whole time (Doesn't matter, had sex! )
I think she might've been a racist (Doesn't matter, had sex! )
She put a bag on my head (Still counts! )

I just had sex (Ay)
And my dreams came true (Dreams came true)
So if you had sex in the last thirty minutes
Then you qualified to sing with me

I just had se-e-ex (Everybody sing! )
And it felt so good (We all had sex! )
A woman let me put my penis inside of her
I just had se-ay-ee-ex (I just had sex)
And I'll never go back (Never go back)
To the not-havin'-sex ways of the past

"I"dentity Politics and the Problem Therein

Defining Queer…

The Merriam-Webster Online dictionary provides the following definitions for the term “Queer;”

1 a: one that is queer; especially often disparaging: Homosexual, worthless, counterfeit –queer money-

  b: Questionable, suspicious

 2 a: differing in some odd way from what is usual or normal

The same source’s Thesaurus finds even more interesting labels.  Definitions from this include;

1 To be affected with nausea <eating all of that deep-fried food would make most people feel a little queer

2 To be different from the ordinary in a way that causes curiosity or suspicion <one competitor had a queer way of running that attracted a lot of attention from the spectators>

3 To be noticeably different from what is generally found or experienced <a lot of queer things started happening almost from the day that we moved into the house>

4 Having extreme or relentless concern <he's a little queer on the subject of astronomy; if you get him going, he'll talk for hours>

5 Being such in appearance only and made or manufactured with the intention of committing fraud queer money that was the work of a master forger>

6 Giving good reason for being doubted, questioned, or challenged queer business practices that bear some looking into>

Our quick online search immediately exposes the link between homosexuality and the negative presumptions regarding an alternate performance of gender that strays from that furthered by our heterosexist blind society.

Despite its derogatory meaning, within the academia, theorists such as Judith Butler  tackle those heterosexist assumptions that give the term “queer” its negative qualities and make it their own, coining Queer theory beside the already existing Gay and Lesbian studies. This move results from their certainty that adopting the belittling heterosexist insult of “queer” as their critical theory standpoint banner will disrupt the binary that powers the heterosexual mindset in its attempt to overpower homosexuality.

Where Feminism had failed to acknowledge the marginalized experience of lesbian women, gay and Lesbian studies emerged to mend the lack. Queer theory instead surfaces in response to the essentialization and identification with superimposed categories that the gay and lesbian studies entail. 

Queer theory has posed an interesting conflict in regards to identifying oneself with a particular identity.  This is because when a person identifies him/herself within a specific identity they are attaching to themselves any/all of the preconceived notions people might have in regards to that identity.  For example, to identify as a lesbian, a woman - in this case Judith Butler - as discussed in her clip posted above, "I'm lesbian I'm gay, but do I subsciribe to everything the lesbian and gay movement says?  Do I always come out as a lesbian/gay person first?... No... These are communities where one belongs and one does not belong"  And also as she discusses in her essay, "Imitation and Gender Insubordination" by identifying as a lesbian Judith would expose herself to her audience’s perception of what they believe a lesbian is; as if being a lesbian contributes to a person, certain attributes not found in say, a heterosexual female.  In the essay, “Imitation and Gender Insubordination,” Judith Butler examines identity politics and explains that to identify as something (gay, lesbian, male, female etc) is problematic when simultaneously rejecting identity politics.  On this level, Butler introduces the instability of identifying oneself as any sexual preference or gender. She says, “To install myself within the terms of an identity category would be to turn against the sexuality that the category purports to describe.” Meaning that to identify as a “lesbian” would be to turn against and oppress the very thing (being a lesbian) that the gay/lesbian community are trying to liberate. 

Not only is identifying oneself as a specific identity problematic in terms of identity politics and queer theory, but is problematic according to Lacan’s theory that a sexual identity cannot exist.  Lacan explains that the death drive is the only way to experience the “real” which is the closest a person can get to escaping the symbolic or as Ashley Sheldon stated, “You are no longer thinking about what you need to do, who you think you are, or even where you are.” Therefore a person can’t identify sexually as anything.  Butler’s argument is powerful and significant to queer theory because it disrupts the identity based theory and discourse that we have grown accustomed to in regards to gay and lesbian studies and challenges the very basis of mainstream gay and lesbian politics we historically understand. 

Binaries Schminaries...

Helene Cixous and Judith Butler are two smart ladies with gender on the brain. They fight for feminism with their tools belts heavily guarded with language and discourse originating from the poststructuralist point of view of Jacques Derrida.

Helene Cixous takes a (misread) Lacanian stance when reviewing her theory in Sorties. She explores the use of binaries in order to show the amount of unequal power that is used when discussing hierarchized oppositions. By doing this, language is coupled with one another in a given order: presence/absence, light/dark, speech/writing, and finally we are brought to the sexualized couple of man/woman. She takes man/woman and compares it particularly with active/passive. This is to say that men are active beings and women are passive beings. Now, although Cixous does not believe binaries to be a natural part of life, she does believe that the moment they are paired with one another a natural war begins between the positioning couples. To quotes her, she says, “Death is always at work”. What she means by this, is to point out the immediate inequality set out involving these hierarchies.

She further elaborates on the man/woman binary by explaining how the family construct works. When a mother and a father exists with children, the mother is either passive or she does not exist at all. Cixous calls this “unthinkable” however, it remains true within the phallocentric theory and a binary is then created between the father/son with no place for woman at all.

In Bodies that Matter Judith Butler discusses the roles gender performance without the deliberate use of binaries as Cixous does. Instead, Butler used a more fluid approach by explaining the concept of norms. The concept (or sign) of a girl, for example, is no more an “assignment” than it is a “command” and because of this command, it will forever be haunted by its own inability fully define itself. She also uses the example of drag as a way to highlight how these norms can be manipulated. Drag is not a lifestyle that is meant to bring down the heterosexual regime, however, it performs the very details of heterosexuality that are displayed.

Through the failing in able maintain the consistency in two main gender norms comes the iterative and predictable motions of homophobia. Homophobia is the discrimination of those males and females who do not fit in adequately under the gender norms of masculine and feminine. Therefore, a man under the pressure of homophobic judgment may be acting too feminine. If this is the case, he has also failed in correctly displaying his heterosexuality.
