Document Summary
Lecture 6: jan 30: big themes: role of families as institutions, diff b/w radical and non- rad feminist views, role of love and romance. Emotion: stuff inside your mind (identity crisis; dualists) Counter example: sex with other women = there is no it that goes in. Realization: counter problem is radical, so her case becomes hopeless; if there is no penis or vaginathen this premise fails. 2nd view : sex as only empirical would define rape as just sex ; you do need a normative to help make the difference. That"s why its hard to look at it empirically: so people go biological sexual reproduction: if it"s aimed at giving birth. Looking at sex non-empirically: christina suggests, feeling sexual arousal. So look at the difference between necessary and sufficient def. Sufficient: sufficient for the truth of something else; sufficient is independent.
