Total Woman Victory Issue 2: The Politics of Sex is OUT NOW!
Read 20 contributions analyzing the material realities of prostitution, pornography, sexual violence, reproductive control, and the ideological conditioning that obscures women’s sexual oppression.
Total Woman Victory Volume 1 Issue 2: The Politics of Sex is LIVE!
We are so excited for you to read our second issue.
The Politics of Sex explores how sex is wielded as a mechanism of power by patriarchal, capitalist, and colonial structures to commodify women, enforce female sexual subordination, and naturalize male dominance. This theme challenges the myths of “empowerment” and “consent” within exploitative culture and systems, with 20 different contributions analyzing the material realities of prostitution, pornography, sexual violence, reproductive control, and the ideological conditioning that obscures women’s sexual oppression. In contrast, we also examine feminist resistance, exploring the ways in which women have globally defied sexual subjugation and built the feminist movement and methodology for liberation. This issue rejects the male narratives that depoliticize sex and instead reclaims the analysis of sex as the site of struggle for women’s total victory.
Here’s a peek at the articles and art you’ll be able to enjoy:
