Le contrat sexuel (Poche / Sciences humaines et sociales)
by |

“The original pact is a sexual as well as a social contract: it is sexual in the sense of patriarchal – that is, the contract establishes men’s political right over women – and also sexual in the sense of establishing orderly access by men to women’s bodies.”
― The Sexual Contract
― The Sexual Contract
“The most dramatic example of the public aspect of patriarchal right is that men demand that women’s bodies are for sale as commodities in the capitalist market; prostitution is a major capitalist industry.”

“Similarly, women collectively are coerced into marriage although any woman is free to remain single. William Thompson compared women’s freedom to decline to marry with that of the freedom of peasants to refuse to buy food from the East India monopoly which had already cornered all the supplies; ‘so by male-created laws, depriving women of knowledge and skill, excluding them from the benefit of all judgment and mind-creating offices and trusts, cutting them off almost entirely from the participation, by succession or otherwise, of property, and from its uses and exchanges – are women kindly told, “they are free to marry or not”.”
