  4. »  The Feminist Wire: Taking the white man-boy seriously

    The white man-boy is the most important cultural figure in America today.

    Hyperbole?  Maybe.

    But, allow me to make a case that the ‘white man-boy industrial complex’ is producing ways of being and knowing the world, particularly for white men, that threaten the social interests (if not rights) of women and people of color in contemporary American culture and little critical attention is being given to this phenomenon.

    What do I mean by ‘the white man-boy industrial complex’?

    I mean the lucrative constellation of industries that produce movies, television shows, music, books, magazines, advertising, and a range of other products that have made popular the idea that white guys today are refusing to grow up, retreating to fratriarchal spaces and ‘man caves,’ reviving racist and sexist humor with irony, and seeking liberation from women they imagine as trying to castrate them (usually metaphorically).

    The white man-boy market was initially a niche, but now must be seen as defining ‘the mainstream.’  The white man-boy industrial complex sells its wares to white men of various social classes.  Socialized around the idea that masculinity is a style performed through conspicuous consumption, these men range in age from awkward teens, to twentysomethings who may imagine themselves caught up in a quarterlife crisis, to thirty- and fortysomethings who may be trying to ironically hold onto their youths while denying that that is what they’re up to.

  8. basically every year the theatre department has these end of the year fake awards called the goldfarbs, “Please remember that these are meant to be fun and sometimes offensively fun. Nominations that are viewed as hurtful by the Theatre of Ted board may be removed. However, please remember that, most of the time, these are meant as jokes. Please do not take them too seriously and have fun!!”

    etc etc

    but just like

    really tho

    in the category of can u not, the nominee is

    • the school of theatre

    and the winner of can u not is

    • the school of theatre

    -single clap-

    thank

    sorry that being told you’re doing racist things is way more hurtful and terrible than the fact that racist shit is being done and like okay please keep making a joke out of the fact that i was working to bring light to a very serious issue???

    i am so ready to graduate

    (also if you’re new to the party hit my /tagged/mlk+party and… enjoy)

  9. i just lost my shit at “all chipotle everything”

  10. okay legit question

    white girls with that real silky smooth hair you know what im talking about

    like this is my friend amy who’s about to pick me up (no i will not give you her number and if you make any creepy comments i will slice you)

    does it just do that by itself? like does your hair just… do that? or is there some secret that you can let me in on

    is there like 3 hours of preparation involved or does your hair just do that

    forever trying to stop being jealous of the white woman’s hair but i’m too busy trying to tame my kitchen to worry about it for too long

  11. It has begun… I’ll give you an update if it escalates… you have to just run in and punch everyone out of the way and then do the actual harlem shake on their unconscious bodies ………… i mean  LIKE NOT TO MENTION EVEN IF THIS MEME WASN’T BULLSHIT ARENT YALL KINDA LATE?

    next time you get into a fight with some privilege-flaunting douche my sincere hope is that you will automatically picture him like this because omfg i can’t deal with thissss

  13. The internet is failing me on a specific question about cultural appropriation: I understand why it is bad to appropriate things from a culture I, as a white person, don't understand(i.e. Harlem Shake), but why is it okay for a person of color to do so (i.e. Beyonce appropriating Eskista for "Run the World" video). Also, some cultural exchange is natural over time - is it appropriative for me to vogue, when it came out of the gay harlem culture like the harlem shake?

    it’s not okay
    cultural appropriation is never okay
    i remember in october there were still hipster pictures of black girls dressing up as ~native americans~ for halloween
    still not okay
    when you get kpop/jpop groups blatantly ripping off black american styles/dances
    not okay
    but i think people, well particularly white people are less likely to call that out because they don’t want to come off as racist or they don’t know how to approach it or w/e but it’s still not okay.
    and while some cultural exchange is natural the problem with the harlem shake thing is bigger bc it’s being completely plucked from its context and is eclipsing the actual record of the thing & white ppl are profiting off of this decontextualized thing
    here’s an article i wrote about it cuz im kinda braindead rn but i explained it better — http://tmblr.co/ZCKrWyeOPsai
    and i have no idea about voguing but
    is that like a significant part of your life
    idk i’m tired but i hope some of that answered something

    & the harlem shake situation isnt technically cultural appropriation bc it’s not even the original thing that’s being appropriated, it’s more like cultural co-opting & rebranding but its still problematic

  15. lawl~~~ hows your fight against isu/rob/the theatre department/every white person alive? oh that's right you failed....

    yeah it’s going terribly

    the entire theatre faculty is gonna be doing a diversity retreat to examine their privilege & biases
    they’re working to bring in visiting artists from mixed blood theatre and a couple other places that focus on multicultural theatre
    they’re going to start implementing class surveys to measure inclusivity in the classroom
    we might be developing discussion groups to supplement the curriculum & there’s talk about how to restructure the curricula to incorporate more diversity, as well as more diversity in the theatre season
    & i know for a fact there’s a couple people in DC who want to talk to rob when he’s there for kcactf about the dangers of publicly being an asshole
    lets see what else… oh, renewed effort to develop new works with the help of mixed blood or other chicago theatres
    oh and they’re gonna form a teaching/learning community with the help of this organization that does that sort of thng for faculty/grads in the theatre department and they’re gonna be working off bell hooks’ Teaching to Transgress: Education As the Practice of Freedom & Teaching Community: A Pedagogy of Hope

    yeah it sucks to fail at things
