Kat grew up on and currently lives on occupied territories belonging to the Onondaga & Cayuga Nations of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy in so-called New York.Apparently, she is not even a Cornell student.

The responses to this gibberish were awesome.
Check them out:
- Fuck I cannot even figure out what the cishetero thing is, like Ishatar? It was not THAT bad a movie, cmon. @greencircleas @suey_park
- I mean personally I think Dustin Hoffman made it at least watchable. @greencircleas @suey_park
- Sure Ishtar would never cover production costs, but c'mon it's at least good for a rental. @greencircleas @suey_park
- I'm displeased by your microaggressive segue into pathological transism; I vow not to renew my MLA membership. @greencircleas @suey_park
- @greencircleas @suey_park That femullet/sunglasses combo wil bring down many things, colonialism NOT among them.
- I saw Cishetero open for Hashtagactivist at The Fineline in '71. @greencircleas @suey_park
- @greencircleas So you're at war with basic biology eh? Can't let thousands of years of adaptation/gender relations get in your way eh?HAHAHA
- @greencircleas Owl necklace, staged thoughtful look, thick rimmed glasses, ridiculous phrasing, activist book = hipster level "Master"
- @greencircleas @suey_park "Help! Help! I'm being repressed! Come and see the violence inherent in the system!"
- @greencircleas My organzng 2 brng dwn hipster actvsm by not aplgzng 4 my race transcends the pretentiousness of ur tweet.
- I, for one, think this cisheteropatriarchy thing sounds serious. Does it respond to penicillin?
- @RBPundit No, no, it's a low cholesterol vegetable spread. Think "I can't believe it's unemployed and poor!"
- @RBPundit @GayPatriot more importantly, is my wife at risk?
- @RBPundit I thought cisheteropatriarchy was a character in Alice in Wonderland.
UPDATE: This great post at Classical Values explains everything you need to know about cis-hetero-patriarchy (or hetero-cis-patriarchy) as well as many other essential modern terms in gender studies.
