ok but please read this summary of Butler& #39;s theory without once rolling your eyes at what she says:
"Butler questions the relationship between feminism
and the heterosexual matrix. Firstly, she argues that
the category of ‘woman’ cannot possibly contain all the
diverse human -

beings that may be identified as, or
identify as, women. Therefore, attempting to draw bor-
ders around the identity inevitably invokes cases which
will not fit, or which will refuse to fit, within those
boundaries. Secondly, Butler suggests that by building
a political movement-

and a politics around and for
this category ‘woman’, feminism also constructs the cat-
egory itself and brings it into being, while claiming
simply to represent it. Thus, Butler raises the highly
provocative question as to whether feminism is complicit
in the very system it -

claims to oppose, by using pre-defined,
narrow concepts of men and women, rather
than searching for more radical alternatives or rather
than rejecting the heterosexual matrix and its labels
outright."

reading this is so stupid and brings me no joy at all. none of this makes sense, Butler is so so so goddamn wrong and stupid and pointless
