Do you have a flag? -Eddie Izzard

Speaking of staking claim....


I've thought of two options that I like. Both involve Pratchett. Haha!

One- This one would focus on Jackrum and his/her dubious views on manipulation discussing how it was a good/bad thing. Maybe even contrasting it with Vimes' version of how he manipulated events i.e. little gnome dropping coffee beans out of the sky.

Two- The second one would focus on the confinement in behavior of gender roles

I think the second one is a little generic, and I think I'm actually talking myself into the first one, now that I mention it. We'll see... I'll percolate on it for later...

The manipulation idea does sound more specific and thought-out at this point. But I'm glad you invoked Eddie Izzard; after our Feb. 6 class, Sydney reminded me that in my litany of comic cross-dressers (especially British ones) I definitely should have mentioned him.
