Connects with lorde that women who take control of their own sexual erotic industry are seen as dangerous; because it"s supposed to be used for male for pregnancy/reproduction purposes. Erotic agency of women are always shaped, regulated, surveilled in which to conform to heteronormative desire; It"s dangerous for women because they will always be seen as the other unless they conform to what the society needs them to be; women"s bodies aren"t trusted. The way in which the society is constructed is to reinforce the man"s privilege; what man has been given is the privilege/ownership of women"s bodies. Destables the states heteropatriarcal notion; what"s inappropriate becomes important. Discuss showing how it is evidenced in her article. Jacqui alexander- women"s sexual agency, our sexual and erotic autonomy have always been troublesome for the state. Erotic autonomy signals danger to the heterosexual family and the nation.
