based as fuck king stoltenberg, i'm so obsessed with you

In the first essay Stoltenberg argues that sexual identity is a political idea, arguing against biological determinism. Current male ethics, according to him, is a 'rapist ethic', in the sense that male sexual identity leeches off the female one - that being a man requires dominating a woman. Stoltenberg substantiates this by pointing to female rape victims often being seen as provoking these acts, as perpetrators.

Really fascinating so far! But one of my friends really wasn’t wrong when they said that Stoltenberg was just a “watered-down Dworkin”
