Down with the cisheteropatriarchy! (UPDATED)

People have looked a little more at the women who was screaming incoherently at the Cornell #BDSFail last night.

Her name is Kat-Yang Stevens, and she describes herself - no joke - this way:

Kat Yang-Stevens is a cisgender queer woman and first generation Asian American of Chinese ancestry. 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.

Anyway, all you need to know about her can be seen in this tweet she wrote last week:


The responses to this gibberish were awesome.

If this is the quality of the Israel haters, there is really nothing to be afraid of except laughing ourselves to death.

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.
