Talk:Queer studies
|
|
- The term "Queer studies" is used by scholars who seek to elevate the status of homosexuality and transgenderism to that of academic discipline worthy of scholar study and emulation.
Surely you didn't think this was NPOV, Ed. What you've written makes the very clear implication that this "elevation" "sought" is not kosher (besides its grammatical contortions). Especially given your little comment - as if only heterosexuals and heterosexual lives are worthy of academic interest.
- Advocates who promote the use of the term typically complain that LGBT people constitute a class of "The Other" subject to persistent and brutal bodily repression and as such ought to be protected by any society which places emphasize on inclusiveness and diversity.
This, on the other hand, is simply material that was repeated in subsequent paragraphs. - Montrealais
As with the "Queer Theory" article . . . this is nothing but insulting. More than this, it is highly fradulent and dangerously wrong. If one if my students, or god forbid, a real live "homoseuxal" fell upon this page, who knows what could happen. I'm all for re-creating a "Queer Studies" page, but let's do it with a feeling of non-partsianship - and one based on the actual work done in this area. 24.250.249.103 08:58, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)L
- That isn't helpful. What, in particular, is wrong with the article? Blanket statements such as "fraudulent" and "wrong" serve hardly any purpose to the improvement of the article.
- Regardless, the removal of external, see also, category, and interwiki links is entirely inappropriate. Dysprosia 09:02, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
if you don't see what's wrong with the messy-ness of this article ...Lantog 09:05, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- How else are we supposed to improve the article unless you don't say exactly what's wrong with it? This is what Talk pages are for. Dysprosia 09:06, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
