I found fridays lecture to be very interesting. I found it to be very valuable as what we discussed in class about queer theory was much more interesting, descriptive, and helpful in understanding the concept than what the internet had to offer.
The idea that queer theory relates to feminism was pretty easy for me to understand as both deal with the problems of an underpriviledged minority. however as we looked more at queer theory the differences became much more apparent as we found that it is more all encompasing than stricly feminism is and that it is structured differently.
The idea that people could be identified as queer in the true meaning by just looking at the activities that they participate in and the social rules that they do not follow was quite interesting. when we discussed in class something that we do or had done in the past that was different than the norm it was easy to see why queer theory was so all encompasing because it really means anything that is strange or different from the norm.
