Responding to Catto's critique of my 2016 article “Sexy Warriors,” this piece reaffirms both the tentative nature of my earlier observations as well as the importance of thinking broadly about the role of fantasy and desire in animating militarized institutions and identities. While Catto is critical of my approach, this essay argues that many of his objections are misplaced. Addressing some of his points directly, and emphasizing the ways that feminist and post-structural insights should be brought together to make sense of perverse desires, I call for continued explorations of the intersection between sexual desire and war
