I Think That The Excessive Focus On Sex In Feminism Is Rooted In Bourgeois Concern Over Regulating Sexual Morality

I’m not talking about the focus on rape, that’s an act of violence.

I’m talking about how the whole “how should a feminist fuck?  who should a feminist fuck? Is porn feminist? Can you be sexually submissive and a feminist?  Is this underwear feminist? for what reasons can a feminist acceptably fuck? What sex positions are feminist?” is making feminism a matter of individual sexual morality, and of regulating the sexual practices of women.  By making feminist (aka: moral) sexual practice a central concern for individuals, it distracts from collective organizing, and revolutionary practice.  Like bourgeois concern over proper sexual practice and regulating the sexualities of working class women and sex workers is just transmuted into the language of bourgeois feminism.  Like whether you’re condemning it or proclaiming loudly that “This porn is feminist” or that “strippers are feminist” you’re still putting yourself in a position of determining sexual morality and giving the discourse of sexual morality central importance.

It’s similar to locating moral practice in the dietary or body regulation habits of individuals.  It’s a bourgeois distraction from the project of actual gender liberation.

People haven’t been here trying to debate whether my personal sexual practices are feminist or not with me lately

I think they must either be forgetting what I’m into or they’ve decided that the horror of hearing about the psychology behind my kinks just isn’t worth it.  I don’t know if they’re feminist or not, but I know that the look on men’s faces when I answer their questions about what I’m into are immensely satisfying.  

Fuckers look like they just saw Cthulhu, and I’m a submissive… and I love that I can be a submissive and yet have kinks so weird and upsetting that male doms are creeped out by me.
