The Curbside Prophet

My name's Alyssa.

I'm a twenty-something avid feminist, advocate, fighter, counselor, and double Women's & Gender studies and Psychology major. I am sex-positive, genderqueer, pansexual, and as kinky as a cheap garden hose. I also run a pretty established kink blog, as well as write posts & reviews for EdenFantasys. It's a pretty exciting place!

I believe in the healing power of sex and sunlight. I love tattoos, purple hair, and Gold Peak iced tea. I am attached to my MacBook. Please don't tell me to calm down. I have a right to my feelings, and I express them liberally and without reservation. I proudly wear shirts that say 'VAGINA' and have an arsenal of five-inch stilettos. I love words. I am a very tangent-happy person.

I eat my ice cream out of mugs and my cereal out of cups. I am very particular about spoons, and I love oatmeal bread. I am a rugger. I use proper grammar in my texts, hash tags, and tweets. I am a major advocate for the Oxford comma. I commit editorial vandalism on a regular basis. You can reach me at lyssamae.thecurbsideprophet@gmail.com, and you can follow me on twitter @mizzlyssamae.

Welcome to my life.

Gender essentialism is the assumption that women are naturally like this, while men are naturally like that, and nature made it so and anyone who deviates from that pattern is a freak. Most commonly it comes in the form of “women are naturally submissive and men are naturally dominant”.

This is an absolutely unprovable statement. It is an opinion, not a fact. Look at the amount of gender conditioning we receive from infancy: different colors for girls and boys (in some cultures), commercials proclaiming boys like toy guns and trucks while girls like dollies that pee. Throughout life, we are punished for deviating from our cultural gender norms, and yet very few people find it easy to avoid those deviations.

If it’s so natural, why all the conditioning?

    This lady says it’s “conditioning”, which is also an opinion and not a fact. There isn’t some evil conspiracy going on...
