Failure As Future-Making

The very structure of success in a white cis male dominated society necessitates that we deny our true desires, incessantly defer them. It necessitates a constant, hyper-masculine drive for dominance- the very thing radical queerness is trying to destroy- in order to attain even a barely adequate standard of living. 

Do we become failures in order to preserve a measure of autonomy? Or do we embrace success to live it?

...because failure is a freedom that we embrace at HausWitch, mostly inspired by our HWIC's winding road to creating this sacred space. Wear your Failure Is An Option thinking cap while you read to really get your crown on board!

GenderFail is a publishing, programing and archiving platform run solely by Be Oakley. GenderFail is not non-for-profit but profit-for-survival or profit-to-continue-our-work-without-other-means-of-capital and most importantly to make money for contributors, to create profit-for-labor. With GenderFail, publishing is personal, it’s a means of livelihood and a tool for the dissemination of imperfect, but powerful ideas. GenderFail seeks to publish works that expand queer subjectivity by looking at queerness as an identity that challenges capitalist, racist, ableist, xenophobic, transphobic, homophobic, misogynistic, and anti-environmental ideologies.
