I still want a feminism that is sexy. This is hard, but exciting: "What I like about bringing feminism and sexuality together is that each term challenges the complancencies in the other. People who want to get rid of sexuality for the sake of their feminist politics and people who want to get rid of feminism so they can feel good about sex are choosing artificial comfort over the uneven path of conflict. I love that your book sharpens, rather than dulls, the edge between justice and desire. ", Jane Gallop writes in the preface to the published by Merri Lisa Johnson anthology " Jane Sexes it up True confessions of feminist desire. " If (want to) write about women reflected their desire, they can only with the knowledge to live in a society with patriarchal tradition in order to sharpen it: in a "rape culture ". That the woman sexually the man to whom it belongs, to be available has is a deep-rooted in this society roles, which was until not so long ago is reflected in the legislation on marital rape. . For all women, it is difficult to put up so apart, how much influence upon this role understanding their own sexual pleasure and sexual fantasies early as 1999, said Susie Bright: "How do you reconcile feminism (or what ever you choose to call your convictions about sex and gender) with the more traditional feminine roles, behaviors, fantasies, positions, and exclamations that you may engage in (and perhaps even enjoy) in the bedroom? " That's a weird question, because it requires the feminists, they rationalize their lust. It also does not work then. The question must be prior to all self-censorship, shame and guilt are permitted: What I like about sex? Of these women tell in this book. The open answer this question in the context in which we live is dangerous because the answers are manipulated (can), women's roles and positions (once again) to be added. Our fantasies are the product of social norms and traditions, yes. But they also that which we form and use are able to arm us to allow more freedom, desire and passion for each.
Who is Jane? It is the same Jane, the "reflective" I, has set its own authorial legitimacy and, as a Jane, which combines with the other Janes that I which is not an authority and identity based, but subsumed in the fullness of the series and the sequence. A female self that the line between rationality and emotion simply does not recognize, but his chance in space sucht.
„The figure of Jane sexing it up“ as I am using it here embodies a specific form of feminist writing that weds resistance with joy to create a sexuality that pleases and a world we can live in. Jane – this co-mingling of playfullness and effrontery – is Cathy when she introduced her poem about masturbation to the gatekeeper of her profession without flinching, and Jane is me admiring Cathy and her poem. Jane is the prepubescent girl I once was, masturbating in the basement shower long after the water ran cold, and Jane is her shame when daddy banged on the bathroom door with a bellow. Jane is, finally, the dialog between that doubtful sexual naif still crouching inside many grown women and the mature self-ownership and sexually confident women we aspire to be. Jane is the conflict. And the gee. “ (Jane Hocus, Jane Focus, Merri Lisa Johnson).
YEAH!
