This is nihilism, or this is truth. He has to push in past boundaries. There is the outline of a body, distinct, separate, its integrity an illusion, a tragic deception, because unseen there is a slit between the legs, and he has to push into it. There is never a real privacy of the body that can coexist with intercourse: with being entered. The vagina itself is muscled and the muscles have to be pushed apart. The thrusting is persistent invasion. She is opened up, split down the center. She is occupied--physically, internally, in her privacy. ... There is no analogue anywhere among subordinated groups of people to this experience of being made for intercourse: for penetration, entry, occupation. There is no analogue in occupied countries or in dominated races or in imprisoned dissidents or in colonialized cultures or in the submission of children to adults or in the atrocities that have marked the twentieth century ranging from Auschwitz to the Gulag. There is nothing exactly the same, and this is not because the political invasion and significance of intercourse is banal up against these other hierarchies and brutalities. Intercourse is a particular reality for women as an inferior class; and it has, in it, as part of it, violation of boundaries, taking over, occupation, destruction of privacy, all of which are construed to be normal and also fundamental to continuing human existence. There is nothing that happens to any other civilly inferior people that is the same in its meaning and in its effect even when those people are forced into sexual availability, heterosexual or homosexual; while the subject people, for instance, may be forced to have intercourse with those who dominate them, the God who does not exist did not make human existence, broadly speaking, dependent on their compliance. The political meaning of intercourse for women is the fundamental question of feminism and freedom: can an occupied people--physically occupied inside, internally invaded--be free; can those with a metaphysically compromised privacy have self-determination; can those without a biologically based physical integrity have self-respect?
So tell me again how the phrase 'all sex is rape' is somehow being unfair to the garbage that this woman produced?
B-b-b-b-but she didn't exactly put it in those words, so that means you totally can't put it into the intended context of a consensual act being coercive and violating!
Get real. Yes there is such thing as taking someone out of context or making a straw man argument, but throughout the whole paragraph she characterizes consensual sex as an act of invasion physically and mentally. "All sex is rape" sums it up pretty well. She's using words like "invasive", "violating", and "occupied" to describe typical sex, words which are much more fitting for describing rape. It even describes it as physically invasive so it isn't even like she's saying women typically get f****d in demeaning positions, but that a dick being thrust into her p**** per se is a "persistent invasion".
So there you go, don't be surprised if people get "All sex is rape" out of this.
