In not having an appointment at Harvard, I'm in the company of a great many people whose work I admire tremendously, in particular women of color.

Postmodernism is an academic theory, originating in academia with an academic elite, not in the world of women and men, where feminist theory is rooted.
sex moving men
Stopped as attribute of a person, sex inequality takes the form of gender; moving as a relation between people, it takes the form of sexuality. Gender emerges as the congealed form of the sexualization of inequaltiy between men and women.
christian men feminist
The arena of logic was made by men for men; it was expressly founded on the exclusion of what is not male, as well as what is not Greek, not Christian, nor Western, not Aryan.
believe men radical-feminism
Feminism is built on believing women's accounts of sexual use and abuse by men.
sex men female
Women and men are divided by gender, made into the sexes as we know them, by the social requirements of heterosexuality, which institutionalizes male sexual dominance and female sexual submission.
men mouths want
Men, permitted to put words (and other things) in women's mouths, create scenes in which women desperately want to be bound, battered, tortured, humiliated, and killed.
men use denial
Women are socially disadvantaged in controlling sexual access to their bodies through socialization to customs that define a woman's body as for sexual use by men. Sexual access is regularly forced or pressured or routinized beyond denial.

Law in the United States is at once a powerful medium and a medium for power.

The unnamed should not be mistaken for the nonexistent.

People can find eroticism in relations with people whom they respect and whom they see as equals.
sex violence enough
In all these situations, there was not enough violence against them to take it beyond the category of sex; they were not coerced enough.
facts nonsense assault
In a society in which equality is a fact, not merely a word, words of racial or sexual assault and humiliation will be nonsense syllables.
