While this piece has a thesis, it is really half-complete.
I was at M.I.T. for about five years and I can tell you that the equation worked like this: Philosophers would rather lie and say that they were cabdrivers than admit to being Lacanian. And to support that argument that were frequently pumping iron when not doing proofs.
It'd be interesting to speak with a professional actor who has transformed his/her body for roles like Jared Leto (currently) or Christian Bale (frequently). How do their publics and circle of friends respond to their gain in muscle and/or fat, or weight loss to the point of starvation?
****I'm surprised why the "gay clone" of the '70s/'80s isn't discussed here. In NYC being gay and "in acceptable shape" is like being a personal trainer in other cities. Going from sissy to Muscle Mary is quite the journey.
