Document Summary
Began to attach identities to people: homosexuality now come with a pattern of belief about a cultural stereotype, kinsey scale 7 point continuum, 0 = exclusively heterosexual, 6. Never had to identify/go internally to find themselves: gay men says sexuality is innate vs. lesbian women says it"s a choice, oppression of women: 1. Controlling/robbing women of children, 4. confining women physically and preventing movement, 5. Using women as objects in male transactions: women end up being trapped. People go through phases, and change their attractions. They don"t remain the same each and every day: very fluid, with multiple dimensions, women don"t control sexual behaviors of each other through taunting like men do. Can"t define a person based on what they do. Listen to what people have to say about their identities, despite their fantasies and past: 3. Interpretations of sexual self is significant: 4. Be willing to enter new communications, whether labels are fuzzy or not: 5.
