It seems to speak of a difference between a "switch" and a "threshold" in performing gender (as complex as that is in its own right): "we" are far more willing to accept the radical jump-cut or switch to engage "feminine" but the blurry threshold that Brady pushes (and not even as far) is the one that is more problematic.<br /><br />Or put differently, it is easier to box a challenge to performed masculinity such as Craig's into an IWD event, while the bleeding of the football stadium's boundaries of performed gender are far more threatening.sportsbabelhttp://www.sportsbabel.netnoreply@blogger.com
