“You can't really protect women or men from their choices, so let them have their own lives and trust the process. Given the history of society's efforts to control women's sexuality and reproduction, this remained a revolutionary idea.

“When you peel back the layers of the anti-choice motivation, it always comes back to two things: What is the nature and purpose of human sexuality? And second, what is the role of women in the world? Sex and the role of women are inextricably linked, because if you can separate sex from procreation, you have given women the ability to participate in society on an equal basis with men.” IfsMenWorldHumansTwoPurposeMotivationChoicesGivenSexAbilityRolesEqualBasesSexualityTwo ThingsLayersLinkedProcreation Author:Gloria Feldt
“Feminism is not antisexuality. On the contrary. It says that sexuality shouldn't be confused with violence and dominance and that it should be a matter of free choice.

“There is a tendency under capitalism system to reduce everything to a kind of commodity fetish, and this order tends to promote extremely conventional and uniform expressions of gender and sexuality in order to promote certain products and lifestyle choices that are commercialized. This necessarily entails a capitulation to heteronormativity, or in the case of the new gay movement, a "homonormativity" that doesn't stray far from the heterosexual paradigm. Anyone who questions these normative values and conventions is subject to disapproval, hostility, or even violence.” KindCertainValuesOrderChoicesCasesViolenceSubjectsMovementExpressionProductsGayCapitalismGenderSexualityLifestyleTendenciesConventionsConventionalUniformsCommodityHostilityParadigmFetishDisapprovalCapitulationLifestyle ChoicesGender And Sexuality Author:Bruce LaBruce
“Girls face two major sexual issues in America in the 1990s: One is an old issue of coming to terms with their own sexuality, defining a sexual self, making sexual choices and learning to enjoy sex. The other issue concerns the dangers girls face of being sexually assaulted. By late adolescence, most girls today either have been traumatized or know girls who have. They are fearful of males even as they are trying to develop intimate relations with them.” KnowsTryingHas BeensTwoSelfTodayAmericaFacesChoicesGirlSexEnjoyTermIssuesDangerLateMajorsConcernRelationMalesSexualityIntimateFearfulAdolescenceDefiningSexually Author:Mary Pipher

“There is a common, puritanical way that we look at things where, if it involves sexuality, somehow the women must be compromised. It's just chauvinistic to deny women their sexuality.

“There are still countries where women don't enjoy basic rights like the vote or the freedom to study or the freedom of choice in marriage.
