Sex-positive feminism

world of sex each and every one has an opinion on what’s right and what’s wrong. Sex and the different forms of it have and will always be the talk of the town, from those who are anti-porn and those that are sex positive.

There are many essential issues beyond just porn itself and how it is seen as a social problem “Anti-porn” is a word and term for people that are against porn and feel that the less society has of it the better it will be for…

My positive reaction to this film is that finally somebody showed the reality of how media portrayed women. I consider this a positive reaction because now young women will understand that they do not have to live by the standards and limitations that are presented by the media. My negative reaction to this film is that they show all men being affected by these standards when is not necessarily true. Not all men behave the way the film illustrates affected males. The passages that created the…

about a repressive tendency in feminism itself” (Ehrenreich 34). Atwood’s message is clear: these feminist extremes will ultimately result in more oppression, not less. That equality cannot be gained through censorship, whether that censorship be of pornography or of anything else. That anti-pornography feminism, in a twisted way, is anti-feminist, and that a world where they reign victorious such as Gilead will only result in…

the definition of feminism is “the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes.” While this definition should be the goal for humankind, feminism also encompasses many other problems with society that cannot be explained through one simple definition. One of these problems happens to be the stereotypes associated with women.

Her story, entitled Herland, depicts three men who stumble across an all-female society, who are invited to speak to the women who have not seen men in two thousand years. The women are diverse, ranging from highly feminine, to more…

Haraway describes how machines and autonomous beings, like animals and humans, are not that different anymore.
