    1. US laws have histori-cally defined some sex acts (anal sex, for example) as inherently impossible to consent to—if there were two consensual participants one might be seen as the perpetrator, the other asthe victim.

      In this case, what is the definition of consent instead of what we define now in the contemporary sense where it's based on purely on the continous communicational process where an agreement of propositions is reached?

    2. Affirmative consent has long been viewed as impractical and impossible to implementin policy or in practice. Yet the consistent warnings in the sexting tips that an unwantedsext could harm a recipient suggests how popular mainstream discourses might movetowards promoting an affirmative consent standard that is linked to an ethical obligationto respect the autonomy of others.

      It may be true that the consideration of including the absence of affirmative consent into legal valid cases while the constituents of such case along with its consequences can see a future of carrying weight in legal proceedings.

    3. Though some of the sexting tips articles reproduced gendernorms, none are as overtly misogynistic as this Pick Up Artist commentary.

      It is believed by Dr. Hasinoff that the non-existence of affirmative consent can be a mindless behavior while the blaming for the negative outcome coming from such deeds by the male partner to his female counterpart in a relationship could be viewed as a line-flirting violation in the arena of morality.

    4. Yet in the general sex tips, there are no words of warning, no advice to exercisecaution, and no description of the potential impact on the other person of doing thiswithout consent.

      Is there a method to say things both responsibly but also not hurting the 'energy' in between?

    5. very sex act requires com-munication about consent—it is not a technique to increase pleasure, it is an absolutelynecessary prerequisite for engaging in any sex act.

      I believe this is the main argument of this article since it's all about validating the idea of affirmative consent's crucial for building a healthy sexual or romantic relationship.

    1. . Keeping sex from realizing the positive effects of the market economyhardly makes it socialist.

      That is so true since if it's true then there will not exist real sex in a socialistic world but I don't think human will evolution out of that.

    2. a psycho-philosophical inferiority for the more usual means of devaluing dissidenteroticism

      That seems like a unprofesstional act, shouldn't argument rarely based on attitude?

    3. desires are not pre-existingbiological entities, but rather that they are constituted in the course of historically specific socialpractices

      If desires are totally biological, will human thousands of years of ago desire to practice in the way that we do today?

    4. Where does degeneracy begin if not at the beginning ofindividual freedom in such matters?’

      Is this statement saying that the freedom is linked with degeneracy?

    5. . I hope to contribute to the pressing task of creating an accurate, humane, andgenuinely liberatory body of thought about sexuality.

      I think this is the purpose of author's writing. It can be the main argument for this piece.

    1. Didyou even considerusingan alternativeword?

      I'm already thinking, maybe a sexually creative woman is a pretty good substitute even though it's a longer phrase.

    2. “Whatcanwedoaboutthisnasty,negativewordchoicethatissostandardin ourculture?

      The real question I want to ask is that, how can we give new connotation to the words with bad overtones?

    3. usingthemjust validatesthesocietalstandardofaperfect,virginal-until-marriage,demurewomanasanideal

      I can so see this from the sociohistorical depiction from the narrative of the past of traditional ancient China, it could be possible that this whirlwind of rust has been infected to part of contemporary culture.

    1. capital expands geographically.

      There are studies suggest homosexuality long existed in China in ancient times, This is no new things to Chinese people at all!!!!

    2. I want to argue that gay men and lesbians have not always existed. Instead, they are a product of history, and have come into existence in a specific historical era. Their emergence is associated with the relations of capitalism; it has been the historical development of capitalism-more specifically, its free labor system-that has allowed large numbers of men and women in the late twen-tieth century to call themselves gay, to see themselves as part of a community of similar men and women, and to organize politically on the basis of that identity.!

      This is the main argument.

    3. Gay liberation was a response to this contradiction.

      This might be a little bit confusing, since being homo out the daylight is so dangerous, wouldn't liberation cause more danger to this community.

    1. The stories I heard from my first clients and continued to hear from the trans people I met through my work at SRLP portrayed a ser of barriers-both from bias and from the web of inconsis-tent administrative rules governing gender-that produce signifi-cant vulnerability

      This is the most critical revelation of this 'Trans equality dilemma' since it cause a worsening loop where from official levels to daily life, a trans person would confromt such difficulty in life.

    2. Critical Race Theory, women of color feminism, queer theory, and critical disability studies to reveal the mistakes and limitations of white lesbian and {,>ay rights strategics.

      Can anyone please explain what is these theories and categories? It's just going to be very hard to draw the correlation between all these concepts.

    3. the person's trans identity is exposed every time ID is shown.

      This may seem perplexing, since their identity is not recognized, how can the identity be recorded in the I.D., shouldn't the achievement of social provision along with officiation?

    4. The most marginalized trans populations have the least protection from violence, experience more beatings and rapes, arc imprisoned at extremely high rates, and are more likely ro be disappeared and killed.

      This statement of truth is really abominable and thrilling, the extremity confronted by minor groups referred here is unbelievably profound.

    1. treat us as equals andaccept our autonomy, regardless of our sex and gender identities and what we choose to do with our bodies

      I think this is the thesis of this article because regardless of gender, we are all equals and we all deserve a rightful place in this world.

    2. ndrogynous-

      I looked it up and feel it could be so true since I've heard so much comments like that on other people by another annonymous crowd.

    3. riot-grrrly-type

      That sounds interesting, girly and riot-like, I wonder whether uniqueness will connect with rebellionness, could that be a social construction? Intriguing...or maybe am I overthinking? I overthought.

      What is an Autostraddler? (I know straddle is to sit or stand with one leg on either side of and auto- means by self or spontaneously, could that mean people who are automatically lame? I don't know.)
