"Every word becomes an giggly double-entendre." 

I love this, Ryan! What is more, the giggling is catching...

And what a fab question!  Myself, I first read Irigaray for a comp lit 
course, her essay on Plato in Spec., and I was flabergasted!  because I 
had been reading Plato in phil and had had my discomforts which I found 
Irigaray articulated delightfully. After that, I was on my own, given 
that my phil courses did not admit this discourse... .My task has been 
and still is to bring this discourse into my philosophical musings, which 
I am allowed to do from time to time with varying degrees of successsss. 
Other texts which impacted my thinking have been CLement's essay in Newly 
Born and Cixous' on Promethea.  I am now just coming into Kristeva, slow 
and easy, yes?  

Cheers,
