Anne Dalke's picture

Two other random (but relevant!) encounters this week...

Submitted by Anne Dalke on Mon, 10/26/2009 - 10:45pm.

The first with a colleague teaching a course in Behavioral Endocrinology, which turned up a website called Natural Attraction, "a science based company" that sells human pheromones, marketed both to gay men and to heterosexual men and women (where are the lesbians in this picture....?)

The second relevant event was a Meeting To Consider the Future of the South Carolina Episcopal Diocese. This caught my eye, first, because a relative of mine was quoted, speaking on behalf of the diocese. Particularly in the context of Kate's call to get beyond the binaries of either/or and us/them, in order to focus on "our own spirit of inclusiveness" (The Gender Workbook, p. 258), this denunciation of the "Gospel of Indiscriminate Inclusivity" is a strikingly troubling one.
