Re: [Marxism] In Defense of Nadya Suleman (or, Hetero Breeding Running Amok)

[Mehmet Cagatay <mehmetcagatayaydin@xxxxxxxxx>]

My own proposal to counteract the heterosexual ideology would not be adopting 
homosexual position but in a more radical fashion, only an autosexual attitude, 
namely screwing ourselves in every way possible, could save us from ideological 
illusions of the heterosexual position. Seriously, although it is a kind of 
perversion as regards to the normative necessities of the Oedipus narrative, 
like other perversions homosexuality is not free from the problematics of 
socially accepted ânormalâ sexual position. In its inverted form, it 
duplicates the various traits of heterosexuality and it is not uncommon to 
notice homosexual couples like their "normal" counterparts who are falling in 
love just like they observe in movies, living together, even getting married, 
trying to maintain a normal standard relationship. So, if there is an ideology 
involved here, in the debate about the mother of octuplets, it is not the 
ideology of certain sexual position, but the
 ethical ideology of capitalist democracy. I mean, sexual positions and the 
story of this particular mother are irrelevant unless they don't help us to 
analyze subjectivity that is produced and re-produced by this ideology.
