Whereas men have sex organs that protrude and become rigid, women have openings that leak menstrual blood and vaginal fluids... She must not get aroused much if she thinks all she does is leak fluids and bleed ! This kind of feminism is dangerous to real woman who are truly feminine.

In This Sex Which Is Not One, Luce Irigaray elaborates on some of the major themes of Speculum of the Other Woman, her landmark work on the status of women in Western philosophical discourse and in psychoanalytic theory. In eleven acute and widely ranging essays, Irigaray reconsiders the question of female sexuality in a variety of contexts that are relevant to current discussion of feminist theory and practice. Among the topics she treats are the implications of the thought of Freud and Lacan for understanding womanhood and articulating a feminine discourse; classic views on the significance of the difference between male and female sex organs; and the experience of erotic pleasure in men and in women. She also takes up explicitly the question of economic exploitation of women; in an astute reading of Marx she shows that the subjection of woman has been institutionalized by her reduction to an object of economic exchange. Throughout Irigaray seeks to dispute and displace male-centered structures of language and thought through a challenging writing practice that takes a first step toward a woman's discourse, a discourse that would put an end to Western culture's enduring phallocentrism.Making more direct and accessible the subversive challenge of Speculum of the Other Woman, this volume -- skillfully translated by Catherine Porter with Carolyn Burke -- will be essential reading for anyone seriously concerned with contemporary feminist issues.
About the Author
Luce Irigaray, a trained psychoanalyst, holds two doctorates, one in linguistics and one in philosophy. The publication of Speculum of the Other Woman in 1974 provoked the wrath of the Lacanian faction, leading to her expulsion from the Freudian School and from her teaching position at Vincennes

Ah but this feminist is even stupider than we could have possibly thought...there is in fact a neat and convient way to deal with turbulent flow that Barbara J Short and Sissmon Sommer developed while working for NACA/NASA...it is known as the T Prime method and their work is well documented. Leave it to a dumb feminist to overlook the work of a brilliant FEMALE gunner

From this perspective it is no wonder that science has not been able to arrive at a successful model for turbulence. Ladies, if what's comin' outta there has observable turbulance, you need to see a doctor!

"Masculine physics" privileges rigid, solid things."
Okay, I finally found a sentence I understand in here, and here's my reaction:
YIPPEE! :) ;)

From this perspective it is no wonder that science has not been able to arrive at a successful model for turbulence. Nonsense. From a very early age, and for the rest of their lives, men exclusively have daily opportunities to observe parabolic arcs, drainage, fluid flow, fluid turbulence, bubble formation, and fluid mixing.

'philosopher' Luce Irigaray
I haven't read her name since graduate school. She's a post-modern hyper-feminist of the let's get nasty and decontextualize variety. Nothing has meaning to her unless it's somehow related to the speculum. I guess it's nice to know she's still out there, still not making sense.

At least when men aren’t smart enough (or, more likely, willing to work hard enough) to understand math and physics, they admit it and move on. They don’t try to blame it on their sex or overly large muscles, or something silly like that. They move on. But this woman? She couldn’t get any sillier.
