Feminism is built on believing women's accounts of sexual use and abuse by men.

What postmodernism gives us instead is a multicultural defense for male violence - a defense for it wherever it is, which in effect is a pretty universal defense.

In all these situations, there was not enough violence against them to take it beyond the category of sex; they were not coerced enough.

The unnamed should not be mistaken for the nonexistent.

It's mainly a few elite women who benefit greatly from standing with the forces that keep women down.

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.

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.
