Thank you for responding. For me personally, the most frightening aspect is the call for legislation—and the fact that she is almost a PhD, too! I couldn’t bring myself to read those tweets in particular. Well, I suppose worse people have their doctorate…Frankly, I find the idea that in some places people can be locked up for entertaining a fully fictional scenario that doesn’t even reflect real life desires to be terrifying.

You can get a PhD for nearly anything in certain fields of "theory" lol, have you actually read Derrida and how much of it is just actual gibberish hahaha. I despise the call for legislation, it is just trying to augment, for likely personal-neurotic reasons, the authoritarian power of the state to persecute what people think, fantasize and write about as if that affects anything "like that". It is the impotent rage that comes with knowing that the potential for progress of the modern bourgeois progress has reached its limit a long time ago yet trying to appeal to it to solve deeper set social issues, like patriarchy, or the "distribution of women" in a society where gender relations have broken down into a state of near gender war - it is easy to blame it on XYZ minor thing that affected you personally and thus try to get Big Daddy the State to help. I detest the attitude.
