Hello everybody:) My question would be:
How can a cishet man healthily express desire in a reflected anti-patriarchal way?
I feel nobody is talking about this. I've been to feminist gatherings even especially for men as in "critical manhood" but nothing there. Maybe its still too much of a sensitive topic?
There can be a strong awareness (in feminist circles) of how problematic the sexualization of the female body is, and a desire to refrain from contributing to it. The problem is that attraction to female-presenting bodies may still be very much present. How can it be known whether this stems from (toxic) socialization or is simply part of one’s sexuality?
What is objectifying and what is desire? Does desire exist without objectification? Is superficial sex even possible if you should not desire a body?
The importance of seeing the people as people is of course included in that.
I know from my female friends that a lot of them dont really care about the bodys of others. Is this already a hint at it? How do you see this?
