Overview
The authorĀ of landmark manifestoĀ Whipping GirlĀ exposes the violent ways we are all sexualizedāthen offers a bold path for resistanceĀ
Feminists have long challenged the ways in which men tend to sexualize women.Ā But pioneering activist,Ā biologist, and trans woman Julia SeranoĀ argues thatĀ sexualization is a far more pervasive problem, as itās something that weĀ allĀ do to other people, often without being aware of it.Ā
Why do we perceive men as sexual predators and women as sexual objects? Why are LGBTQ+ people stereotyped as being sexually indiscriminate and deceptive?Ā Why areĀ people of colorĀ still beingĀ hypersexualized?Ā These stereotypesĀ pushĀ minorities farther into the margins, and even the privilegedĀ are policed from transgressing, lest they also become targets.Ā ManyĀ view sexualization as a mere component ofĀ sexism,Ā racism,Ā orĀ queerphobia,Ā but Serano argues thatĀ liberationĀ from sexual violence comes throughĀ collectively confrontingĀ sexualization itself.Ā
