Record ID: 121477
  • Title: Good Ideas Of The 20Th Century: Female Orgasm
  • Date: 16th November 1993
  • Summary: SINCE THE PUBLICATION OF HER FIRST HITE REPORT IN 1976, SHERE HITE HAS BEEN AT THE CUTTING EDGE OF THE DEBATE ON SEXUAL POLITICS AND ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL AND CHALLENGING WRITERS ON THE PERSONAL LIVES OF MEN AND WOMEN AND THEIR INTERRALATIONSHIP. HERE HITE LOOKS AT SEX AS A CULTURAL RATHER THAN A BIOLOGICAL FORM: THE DENIAL OF THE FEMALE ORGASM, OR AT BEST ITS SUBORDINATE ROLE AS MALE-LED AND INDUCED, REFLECTS BOTH A GENERAL DENIAL OF WOMEN'S SEXUAL NEEDS AND A LARGER SOCIAL SYSTEM IN WHICH WOMEN HAVE BEEN GIVEN SECOND CLASS STATUS FOR CENTURIES. WOMEN STARTED TO REDESIGN THE WORLD IN THE SECOND HALF OF THIS CENTURY, IN WHAT IS NOT ONLY A FEMALE BUT A GENERAL REVOLUTION, LEADING TO THE BIGGEST REALIGNMENT OF THOUGHT IN TWO CENTURIES OR MORE AND THE WAY FORWARD IS TO A "FEMALE" CULTURE OF MUTUALITY AND CO-OPERATION, RATHER THAN HEIRARCHY AND COMPETITION.
