Week Fourteen - Posting Fourteen

I chose to read "Sex and Power: Sexual Bases of Radical Feminism" written by Alix Kates Shulman. The writing discusses the relations between men and women and are power affects this relationship in society. Many different categories of what women have fought for or discussed like marriage, being a wife and motherhood, but sex is something that society has left out or not really discussed. Women are supposed to not enjoy sex or prosper from in like in prostitution. Many feminist activists in the 1960's seemed to me to be more sexual outside in society.  This time period also went with free love and the experimental drug and rock and roll scene. So much was going on during this time, especially with the Vietnam War occurring. Shulman speaks about this issue on a more personal level, maybe based on her experiences during this time and how society was so male-dominated. This makes her writing more creditable to her audience.
