The politics of sexuality

Don't be too vocal against sexuality, who knows when and how you might get caught!

Sexually pure people are rare in the world!

So what to do?

Try to understand that sexuality is politics first. This is the sexual dominance of men over women, which is an expression of politics. Patriarchy wants to keep women subordinate to it. In this case, the main weapon is sexuality. The main aspect of this politics is to imprison women's sexuality.

When women were first imprisoned in the house, women lost all their freedom, especially their sexual freedom. Until now, they used to decide who they would have sex with and who they would not have sex with. From now on, men became their masters, meaning what is patriarchy anymore.

Women were polygamous regardless of gender, now only women have to be monogamous and everything will be open to men.

At the root of all this was personal wealth. Women became personal wealth, and the children born to them became tools for inheritance of wealth.

The basic principle of social development is to create repression on the instincts of natural man. The more this repression can be continued, the more developed he will become, the more civilized he will become.

But will the repressed instinct remain hidden?

No? It will not remain, it will want to come out. Whether this desire to come out is easy or difficult depends on power. Women are already subordinate, men are privileged by birth, the biggest is the ownership of wealth. The division of labor gives ownership to men. Although this ownership is no longer absolute for men. But the dominance is still in the hands of men.

Therefore, men are entitled to its exclusive enjoyment of sexuality.

But society does not develop in one direction only, development does not only change itself, it also changes others. As a result, capitalism has imprisoned women's sexuality, made it a commodity, but it has developed women and the result of this development is that they have built a struggle against it and they have declared their bodies as their own. They have said who will share their bodies with, this freedom is theirs alone.

Well, the ego of patriarchy has been wounded, it has felt a slap. It has become furious. Its primitive instincts have flared up. It has resorted to physically harassing women wherever it is.

In essence, this is a cultural crisis. Men are sexually uncultured from the beginning, when women have become protestors, they have become even more crazy. They can no longer consider women as personal property. If you have to consume, you have to buy, you can't get anything for free. But men are primitive, uncultured, they want it by force. Their strength is two-fold: physical strength (although it has no value whatsoever) and social power. Social means political. Political means economic, it means the hierarchy of power.

Women want to get out of this hierarchy, men don't. Whenever they face resistance, they take a different path. Abuse, body shaming, rape.

These are all primitive instincts.

Modern women are free in matters of sex, they have clearly said that their bodies are theirs, the decisions are theirs. But men cannot accept this decision. They have not been able to get out of this conflict. They want to exercise their rights over women's bodies, they want to take possession.

The reason for this inability is not only their primitive psyche, but also the crisis that has remained within this system. It is nothing more than capitalism, whose job is to subordinate everything to it, to commodify it.

Women have also accepted the commodification of women's sexuality, they are willing to sell it, just as a worker sells his labor power and here she is free. Women want to be free from everything. This is the reason for men's greed.

This greed makes them savage, they are ready to harass women and do so. This is a characteristic of all men, with rare exceptions.

So I say, don't be too vocal about sex, you can get trapped too soon.

Then if we have to avoid these primitives, then we have to stand against sexual politics. Without the abolition of the system that gives rise to this barbarity, considers women as personal property, creates various inequalities and variations of power, and keeps people oppressed, there will be no relief from this crisis.

This is not just a sexual problem of men and women, but a problem of the liberation of the entire mankind.
