Today what we talked about what was “queer theory” and how it relates to “feminist theory.” We also talked about what the original meaning of queer is. The original meaning simply meant out of the ordinary or different. Now, everyone uses the term “queer” to make a reference to homosexuals. However, when people say things are “gay” or “queer” they most times just assuming that and making it a derogatory term towards people. We talked about if a guy came in smelling like roses people would automatically say that he is gay when he really isn’t he just likes the smell of roses. So, in general people make assumptions that aren’t correct and unfair. Then, we talked about how society makes everyone believe that they should love someone of the other sex and that they should all follow the same pattern or it is completely wrong and horrible. We talked about how this is unfair and that it hides some people’s emotions because it makes them feel like they won’t be accepted just because they feel different and society has certain expectations that you must fit into or else you are deemed “weird.”
