This concept reminded me of one of my high school English teachers. She wanted to be familiar with the books that her students were interested in outside of class so she would keep track of what books we were reading in the few minutes before the bell rang and class started. Her rule for herself was that as soon as she had seen the same book being read by at least two students, she had to read it.

Seriously same. Though my city still doesn't have a subway well they made it, but it's not opened yet. But most of falling in love with strangers comes from riding buses or walking on roads. Actually, love might not be the right word. I just like to wonder what might be happening in their life. Are they happy and blessed with life? What is their story? And write a book in my mind which is never gonna be published

I always get a little bit defensive going into a review of one of my favourite books, like I did here with All About Love, but I have to say that I understand your criticism. I just don’t interpret the book the same way. I read it with queer love in mind and was actually astounded by how open-minded and label-defying the concepts were. It’s one of the reasons it’s important to me. I do agree that her examples of love tend to be hetero, but for me her theory is so much bigger than that, and the concrete examples are only meant to illustrate larger points. Anyways, thanks for putting a spotlight on the book, and for a great video as always.

As a bi woman myself, in defense of bell hooks, I think it's okay for a lot of feminist analysis to be heteronormative when it's specifically analysing the ways in which men and women relate to each other in relationships. People dating people of the same gender are going to have different experiences that require their own nuanced analysis, but it's okay to analyse specifically how patriarchy within het dating affects people considering that's most of the population.

I think all about love is more a criticism of heterosexuality and the family dynamics and gendered emotional roles it produces than a universal proclamation on the essence of love and how that must manifest materially for everyone. So the fact that hooks analyzes binaried gender roles in the book--roles that don't make room for nonbinary and gender nonconforming folks--is meant to lampoon the binaried, heteronormative power systems that affect us all to varying degrees. Though i identify myself as nonbinary now, the ways that feminized emotional care roles were thrust on me in my childhood/adolescence still had a major effect on my relational abilities. All about love is a primer to unlearn; but to unlearn, you have to parse out what was a heteronormative belief system and i see bell hooks doing that in the book, especially when it comes to abusive relationships...love your videos Jack !!

Honestly is really hard trying to figure out what book some people are reading without being too obvious, like PLS SHOW ME THE COVER SO I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE READING, MY CURIOSITY IS KILLING ME Omg you caring about a book being so gender binary 😭😭😭 I’m nonbinary I FEEL SO SEEN 😭😭😭😭😭 also aroace so yep, there are A LOT of forms of love✨ Also I love your new haircut❤️
