If it is true that in popular fashion "there is no such thing as absolute rebellion or subversion" and that anti-social and counter-cultural behavior will ultimately be co-opted by the mainstream, then flashy protest can only bring fleeting personal pleasure and has no real function in terms of bringing about social change. Moreover, gender performance can only be done for performance's sake.
如果在流行時尚中「沒有絕對的叛逆與顛覆」，反社會、反文化終究會被既定體制收編的話，裝模作樣的抗爭姿態只能為個人帶來短暫快感，並無實質社會變革的功能；性別表演也只是為表演而表演罷了。
