#LivingSinglehood
Last semester, I taught a graduate course on singlehood for the first time. I thought it might be worth making a thread highlighting some outstanding papers from the course.
I love qualitative work that really listens to the participants, and Moorman's paper does just that. Also, her positionality statement was a big hit with the students. @JDMoorman https://t.co/pMXsXlWxPP
For example, "best" is a value judgement, rooted in the perspective in the person making it. The "best" eggs for me would not come from a white woman. @deathsexmoney please do better it is 2023.
Today's @deathsexmoney episode the host & guest stated the "best eggs" come from tall white 20 y.o. blondes; a racist statement, rooted in eugenics logic, that was presented unchallenged in your episode. Repeating this claim is inaccurate and problematic.
JDM: What’s advice you would’ve given to yourself at 20 about being single?
Deena: Enjoy it. And fuck as many men as you as you possibly want to. And I literally mean that. [Laughter]
