Inquiry #3: Judith Butler with Sunaura Taylor

Overall, I thought the passage was interesting in that it attempted to approach a subject not often talked about in a radically different approach. I especially enjoyed the opening portions about Taylor's feelings on the definition of walking and what it means to her. I would have to agree with her sentiments that social norms and values can sometimes distort our ideas about even mundane things like this. Nevertheless, I thought some of the interview was a little bit hypocritical. I did not like it when she criticized those people who have had little interaction with the physically disabled and who can be awkward in situations as a result. In these people's defense, I do not consider them bigoted or ignorant in the slightest. How can we hold them responsible for knowing what is the proper protocol for aiding the physically disabled? That said, overall I thought the piece was definitely intriguing and brought a great perspective to the subject.
