she wants to use humor she means turning it into something more positive and ironic. As an example she uses Rehab who does not fit the heteronormative roles as she is not married, is strong, is in charge, and does not fit the norms of marriage and monogamy making her a queenair (unusual or odd). According to Runions, the humor (irony) in this story is the fact that Rahab is not of higher position in society and she is control of the situation. She is in control of both the spies and the king who…

beliefs to the polygamous lifestyle. In the polygamous lifestyle you are disposed to being in love with multiple partners, which is quite different than the sexual relationships he was instituting. A representative from the Philosophers’ Ethical Non-Monogamy Alliance responded to Hanna’s statements by saying that in likening his sexual preferences to polygamy, he is making an excuse for sexual harassment of students and colleagues. Ghomeshi believes that no one should have dominion over a…

New York by Pastor John Humphrey Noyes. This community is based on Christianity yet they stressed the socialist lifestyle. These colonists believed in what they referred to as “complex marriage.” It meant they were all married to each other and monogamy was rejected. The community as a whole raised the children together. Oneida lasted for more than 30 years but finally failed due to the Pastors son withdrawing from his duties as the leader (Hutton) .…

agree at first. He made me think about it a full two months before he would consent. He also stipulated a condition that he would not be a mere 'donor.' He even made me marry him. Can you believe that? Not an exclusive deal, as if one could practice monogamy. We live in Castle Stapleya with a bazillion fur-people. It may not be conventional, but it works. I think one reason it does so is the complete lack sexual…

un-Christian and non-European, an excuse for the negative portrayal of a member of the royal family. Likewise, it is Oroonoko’s affinity for things European that elevates him above his grandfather, making him the more “ideal” African monarch. His monogamy and European-based education make him morally and mentally superior, and physically he is more acceptable, handsome even, than the other Africans on the basis of more European physical traits. These aspects of the characters and the societies…

Marxism in Brave New World In a capitalist society, power is not distributed evenly. In Aldous Huxley’s novel Brave New World, cloning replaces natural conception and the amount of power they will have will be predestined for them within their own caste. This type of utopian society reflects Karl Marx’s theories of capitalism, where class struggle is the basis of one’s identity and their access to resources and power. In Brave New World, everyone is placed into a caste system, where Alphas,…

Virgin and virginity are terms applied to both men and women who have not yet had sex. It also represents an idea of purity, particularly with girls. The concept of having something special or precious that you give away or lose when you have sex is a very damaging social construction. It is used to scare and shame girls, and makes them fear their own desires and sexual beliefs. This idea that penis and vagina sex have some kind of special meaning or power over us seems strange. What if you both…

Huxley turns the meaning of “strictest conventionality” by making sexual harassment fine. In modern times, human trafficking has taken place all over the world. In this situation, women are viewed in the same light as in Huxley’s world. “Mother, monogamy, romance….No wonder these poor pre-moderns were mad and wicked and miserable”(Huxley 41). In the dystopian society, mothers were frowned upon. Having a family or parents was frightening and disgusting to the citizens of the society. People did…
