romulus Irigaray

"Women is never anything more than the scene of more or less rival exchange between two men, even when they are competing for the possession of mother-earth?
Sex is the primary factor of categorization in which our society organizes itself. "Adam and Eve" is propaganda complied to control the populace. The narrative is supported by religious authority, whose influence has dominated western civilization for thousands of years. The text is untouchable because it is from above, people have to believe it.The text is a snapshot into the subjection of women by men at the time. Women were an afterthought not even made by god. The story established male superiority over women.
The 2 class system is still in place today. Irigaray speaks confusingly about female sexuality. Women are sexual beings who are being pleasured actively or passively at all times. I would assume that women are in control of their own pleasure. Penetration by a man is seen as a violation that disrupts the tranquility of virginity. Women are thus objects of men.
Sexuality is a powerful tool in which people can use to attain certain resources. Sex is everywhere, and people have the option to pursue as much or as little of it as possible. I believe that women can use their sexuality to their advantage. It's hard for me to comprehend ever treating any female as inferior. Homosexuality, and bisexuality disrupt the patriarchal system.
There are recognizable inequalities between men and women, especially with male privellege in place, however popular culture can change that. Adam and Eve was a snapshot of ancient beliefs, if one was taken of today it would be of Hillary Clinton as potentially the first female President of the United States of America.
