that's a great example of projection and the derrida's 'ear of the other' and, maybe, teotwawki, as well. not sure where to begin, of course, but how 'bout:
there is a curious coincidence that, as u.s./western culture lunges into redefinition of 'masculine' and 'not masculine' (neo-feminism/ trans-sexualism/ etc.)... it is curious/odd that a central character named derek 'chauvin', has a last name which is identical to the long-standing feminist battle against 'chauvinists'... this is simply an observation... not an attempt to stir your hysteria.
and, sure, another coincidence is that questions about race/ethnicity and gender/sex roles are sharing the social spotlight. another simple observation.
as well, i posed (only slightly embedded) question about good/bad polarity, which, of course, is a form of reductio ad absurdum and yes, probably a form of social hysteria, which concerns me but might be expected when it's teotwawki... all a slippery slope.
