Fist Waving Feminism

I will use this forum to rant, inform, answer, debate, relate and everything in between.
Mar 30 '11
“Sex is also confused with violence and aggression in all forms of popular culture, as well as in respectable theories of psychology and sexual behavior. The idea that aggression is a ‘normal’ part of male sexuality, and that passivity or even a need for male aggression a ‘normal’ part of female sexuality, are part of the male-dominant culture we live in, the books we learn from, and the air we breathe.
Even the words we are given to express our feelings are suffused with the same assumptions. Sexual phrases are the most common synonyms for conquering and humiliation (being had, being screwed, getting fucked); the sexually aggressive or even expressive woman is a slut or nymphomaniac, but the sexually aggressive man is just normal; and real or scientific descriptions of sex may perpetuate the same roles, for instance, a woman is always penetrated by a man though she might also be said to have enveloped him.”
