      No, they can't If you think you actually achieved a full understanding of a series of equations based on a summary for laypeople you are incorrect This is one area in which science popularizers have arguably done a fair degree of damage

      As someone with a surface-level knowledge of a lot of different stuff I think I'm qualified to point out that surface-level knowledge and actual knowledge are very different things, and the Internet era has given a lot of people WAY too much confidence about confusing the two

      It is unreasonable to expect ANY deep field of study to be easily explained to laypeople, especially bored hostile laypeople with "What's there to explain? It's not science or anything, EVERYONE can just read a book and criticize it" It's an obnoxious celebration of ignorance

      I asked the original poster to explain in simple words the drivel we saw - but still no answer. I will send you a cookie if you can even just to explain what is it about and what are the objects in that sentence.

      It's about the Butlerian concept of "performativity", the idea that none of us essentially IS one of the things that makes up our identities automatically and without effort, that everything you think of as true about yourself is a role you dress up for and act out onstage

      There is no meaning to just BEING a man or a woman, a man or a woman is something you PERFORM, you only get defined as a man by other people by going out on the stage of the public sphere every day and ACTING LIKE a man according to certain rules that define "manhood"

      So this first passage is about how Victorian literature is from a time and place that, on the surface, rejects this philosophy out of hand -- it's a time when people outright said everything about you was determined from the moment of your birth by your genetics

      Not just that a man is born a man and a woman born a woman, but that an aristocrat is born an aristocrat and a commoner a commoner, that your skull shape or your posture or whatever was a physical marker determining how you'd go on to speak, dress, act, work and live

      But, as always, repressive essentialism contains within itself the possibility of its own defeat, because it's simply not true By insisting on things that aren't true and insisting we believe them, Victorian ideals actually make their own norms really easy to attack

      Because they insist that it's just a FACT that EVERYTHING about an aristocrat is aristocratic from birth -- even as obviously contingent, changeable things like how people dress and talk -- it's really easy to fuck with a Victorian audience just by dressing up and acting

      So, for instance, this paragraph refers to the fortune-teller episode in Jane Eyre -- the whole premise of Jane Eyre is about this unbridgeable social gulf between Jane's station and Mr. Rochester's, but Mr. Rochester dresses up as a Romani fortune-teller just to mess with Jane

          Mr. Rochester in this moment becomes someone who's the *opposite* of himself in every possible way -- a woman, non-white, an "exotic" foreigner, an outcaste permanently excluded from the Victorian social hierarchy

          And yet it's in this guise, when he's "not himself", that he's *able to speak most honestly as himself* -- to say all the shit about the other members of his household that he can't say normally, to honestly express his feelings for Jane
