Although this essay is about reading texts from the past, I begin with the present, with a US president who was elected despite widespread knowledge that he had infamously boasted about how he often starts kissing beautiful women without consent. “I don't even wait,” he crowed. “When you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything.” The internet was soon flooded with angry feminist responses to his crass admission of sexual violence, retorts that appropriated his use of vulgar language with wit and resistance, the most prevalent being the meme “Pussy Grabs Back!” (see fig. 1). The Pussy Hat Project soon followed. As we know, the pussy hat phenomenon offended some who felt it was racist (not all vulvas are pink) and/or transphobic (not all women have pussies). Nevertheless, a sea of pink pussy hats, worn by persons of many embodiments and identity categories, would be seen in protest, worldwide, at the record-breaking post-inauguration Women's Marches across the globe. If “Grab ’em by the pussy” rightly offended, “Pussy Grabs Back!” gained traction.

从“We Other Victorians”到“Pussy Grabs Back”:当今维多利亚时代研究中的性别思维、性别思维和女权主义方法论的未来

Although this essay is about reading texts from the past, I begin with the present, with a US president who was elected despite widespread knowledge that he had infamously boasted about how he often starts kissing beautiful women without consent. “我什至不等,”他叫道。“当你是明星时,他们会让你这么做。你可以做任何事情。抓住他们的阴部。你可以做任何事。” 互联网上很快充斥着愤怒的女权主义者对他粗暴承认性暴力的回应,反驳说他使用粗俗的语言带有机智和抵抗,最流行的是模因“Pussy Grabs Back!” (见图 1)。猫帽项目很快跟进。众所周知,猫帽现象冒犯了一些认为这是种族主义(并非所有外阴都是粉红色)和/或恐跨(并非所有女性都有阴道)的人。尽管如此,在全球范围内破纪录的就职典礼后妇女游行中,可以看到由许多化身和身份类别的人佩戴的粉红色猫帽的海洋,在世界范围内抗议。如果“抓住他们的猫”正确地冒犯了,“猫抓住回来了!” 获得了牵引力。
