Well one way to start might be to abrogate any post that contains
references to Irigaray or Ayn Rand or a few others.

Since resentment is the impelling force of feminism, all feminism that
is, it is little wonder you have problems with her reading of anything,
let alone N.

This is sheer bubblegum deleuzoguattarianism.  Do you even know what you
mean by libidinal investments?

We can only grit our teeth at the thought of this non topos that
femmynists like you would propose for men and women.  What would you do
with apes like us, put us in some zoo along with the Bengali tigers?  No
wonder we sense how liberating is the violence we are inflicting in
here!

Another critical 10-year old contribution: one might say just the
opposite: that there is no greater violence than that done to the mind
and the senses, rather than to the body.
