Sex and Sexuality in a Feminist World

2020

This paper is an expository analysis of sex, feminism and sexual revolution. The paper reveals that right from historic time , the s ociety’s normative pedagogy has been overwhelmingly influenced by obsessive religious sexual morality. Fundamentalist sexual morality is arguably a morality and pedagogy that is economical with the truth about the nature, mea ning and essence of sex. It was a regime that mystified and forged ossified myths that confounded the meaning and essence of sex. It was a regime that hid the truth or presented a narrow notion of the primary purpose of sex. Worse still, it denied children and impressionable adolescences the knowledge of sex for fear that they may be corrupted. Consequently, children resorted to other ‘honest and open’ means for the knowledge of sex. Subsequently, armed with the true knowledge of sex when the children of y esterday grew into adolescence and adulthood, they revolted against the traditional order. The strict and dishonest traditiona...

The central aim of this paper is to argue that sex is an important area of study for philosophers, and that the present vitality of the philosophy of sex stems largely from the contributions of feminist thinkers. "Sex" refers to three distinct areas: gender sex, erotic sex, and sexual politics. In all these areas, prejudice and habit create difficulties in discussing sex; underlying those prejudices are some traditional models of the person in which sexuality threatens the real self. Feminist philosophy of sexuality involves critiques of those models, and of various forms of gender with them. RESUME Le but principal de cet expose est de fa ire valoir 1'importance pour les philosophes, des problemes de la philosophie de la sexualite, et parliculierement de la pensee feministe en ce domaine. "Sexualite" designe trois domaines distincts: la division des sexes, l'eroiisme, et les aspects politiques. Dans les trois domaines, les prejuges rendent difficiles la pensee aussi bien que le discours. Derriere ces prejuges, il y a des conceptions traditionnelles de la personnequi opposent la sexualite et le moi authentique. La philosophie feministe de la sexualite fait la critique de tels modeles, ainsi quede plusieurs formes d'essentialisme qui s'y rattachent.

Further Adventures of the Dialectic of Sex, 2010

For the last twenty years, feminist theory has been presented as a series of ascending waves. This picture has had the effect of deemphasizing the diversity of past scholarship as well as constraining the way we understand and frame new work. The aim of this series is to attract original scholars who will offer unique interpretations of past scholarship and unearth neglected contributions to feminist theory. By breaking free from the constraints of the image of waves, this series will be able to provide a wider forum for dialogue and engage historical and interdisciplinary work to open up feminist theory to new audiences and markets.

In this paper, we examine feminist perceptions on the experiences and portrayal of women in sex commerce including pornography, prostitution, trafficking in persons and the use of sexual images of women to promote products and entertainment. This paper is largely a conceptual discussion of related literature, and thus data was generated through desktop review of related literature and previous empirical studies on sex markets. We establish that feminist theorists are divided on the question of whether markets in sexually explicit materials and sexual services are generally harmful to women. As a result, some feminist scholars have explored and developed arguments for restricting sex markets, while others have investigated political movements that aim to advance the rights of sex workers.
