*An interesting illustration by Zizek on Political Correctness and (heterosexual) seduction procedure *
"... there is no seduction which is not in a way an (politically) 'incorrect' intrusion or harrassment - at some point, one has to expose oneself and 'make a pass'. So does this mean that every seduction is incorrect harrassment through and through? No, and that is the catch: when you make a pass, you expose yourself to the Other (the potential partner), and she decides retroactively, by her reaction, whether what you have just done was harrassment or a successful act of seduction - and there is no way to tell in advance what her reaction will be. This is why assertive women often despise 'weak' men - because they fear to expose themselves, to take the neccessary risk. And perhaps this is even more true in our PC (politically correct) times: are not PC prohibitions rules which, in one way or another, are to be violated in the seduction process? Is not the seducer's art to accomplish this violation properly - so that afterwards, by its acceptance, its harassing aspect will be retroactively cancelled?" *(The Fragile Absolute)* --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
