Document Summary
De sousa and morgan "philosophy sex and feminism" Erotic sex-recall christina, nagel, solomon, moulton and goldman. Sex politics - usually considered in isolation from the other two senses but in fact deeply related to them (abortion rights) They didn"t talk about sex politics with gender sex or erotic sex and de sousa and morgan believe you have to look through sex politics to make appropriate assumptions about gender and erotic sex. 3 reasons it"s hard to talk about sex: social practices (including sexual practices) tend to appear obviously natural. Sexual intercourse properly used would mean something very gender. 3 models of sex (this is familiar now) Two parts of a person; spiritual, which is higher, material (appetitive) which is lower (always trying to control it) Two parts of a person ; eros is higher. Sex is the motivation for all behavior. If there are 2 sexes then sex attraction is based on the differences between the sexes.
