I also find Barbara Ehrenreich's preface to the book compelling, which you can read here: https://monoskop.org/images/5/54/Theweleit_Klaus_Male_Fantasies_Vol_1_Women_Floods_Bodies_History.pdf

Good material to put in conversation with discourses on the imperial boomerang, as we do the work of tending to our analyses in service of building grounded strategies ♥️

Interesting 1987 NYT book review of Klaus Theweleit's *Male Fantasies* "a study of the imaginative world of the German Freikorps movement."

Sadly it's not that simple, as we review.

why didn't you take questions after the talk? There was plenty of time left in your slot :/ #39c3

Because I thought we were out of time. I was mistaken. However we stayed after for as long as we could and took questions near the stage.

It's true, I did think we were over time, when in fact we were not over time. But we definitely didn't storm off! We stayed around by the stage for about 15 minutes talking to nice people and answering questions. Then we hung out until late, and again the next day. Hope that helps!
