BTW, to understand why Iran, as well as Arab society, is more erotically interesting than the West, you can live the age of Walt Whitman in your imagination, the age before the emergence of a new episteme, i.e. "sexual identities" under the hegemony of "heterosexuality," the age when friendships between men, as well as between women, weren't threatened with men's failures to become "heterosexuals." . . . I'm sure that's what Foucault enjoyed about Iran.-- Yoshie
This is Orientalist nonsense.
