Germaine Greer should know better, since she's an ephebophile herself.

>With the exception of women such as Josephine Butler, feminists frequently demanded that the coercive power of the state be utilized in a policy of sexual control.

>..nevertheless they did not encourage women to see their sexuality in a positive light.

Rather, they charged men with being responsible for making women suffer in order to acheive their male carnal desires, and demanded that policies of control, such as higher age of consent be enacted, among antiprostitution laws, etc.

You'll have to scroll up or down from the tables, but essentially the suffragette movements considered a higher age of consent a priority for improving female 'status'..except they sought only for the female version of age of consent, and did not care that males had NO age of consent law to 'protect them'.

Females are exceptional, males are ordinary.

If you 'taint' a female of a certain age, we want laws that will socially punish you, the male, who tainted her.

Here's a lurid little book by well known feminist G.G. who states that she wanted to incite lust of middle teen aged boy bodies in the souls of adult women.

https://www.amazon.com/Soiled-Doves-Prostitution-Early-Women/dp/096190884X

The other books make it clear, sexual exchange freely without hope for marriage, or within the confines of a monetary exchange, were simply part of an oppressive regime of male domination over women.

To control males, we make laws to prevent prostitution so they can't have easy access to sex, to imprison males for violating age of consent law, which we will raise. Incidentally, 'fornication' which meant unmarried sex was actually illegal in the U.S. It looks as though wikipedia has little to no real information on it, but


http://www.nbcnews.com/news/crime-courts/virginia-bill-decriminalize-sex-outside-marriage-stalls-n23516

Virginia is one of the first colonies, and that law is indicative of what was more common among states. If fornication is a crime, then men were subject to that law as well.

I'm covering the issue from an AoC angle mostly, but it is clear that prostitution and sex outside marriage (gotta get that man's paycheck and a cushy lifestyle) were also considered harmful to women, and part of male subordination of women.

Men hurt women through their sexuality, and she always loses out. Therefore we should seek control of male sexual behavior, desire, etc.

Why is it today that we still have jokes about dad making veiled threats to boyfriends their daughters bring home and not the other way around?

Because the female is the natural victim when sexuality occurs.

I probably should remind at this point that sexuality is defined as obscene, and sexual films aka porn is defined as material of obscene, indecent, lascivious, and lewd nature.

Sex acts are lewd and lascivious, obscene, indecent, except we simply have made it 'legal' to have sex in private between unmarried individuals for the purpose of sexual pleasure instead of for making babies, and we allow consumption of pornographic, e.g. obscene. material in private as well.

Its still all 'obscene', which means its bad. We just let 'legal adults' do bad things of this nature. In this light, we can understand why males are viewed as tainting females, even in the contemporary period.

http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/lewd+and+lascivious

>adj., adv. references to conduct which includes people living together who are known not to be married, entertainment which aims at arousing the libido or primarily sexual sensation, open solicitation for prostitution, or indecent exposure of genitalia (which is itself a crime). Due to the tendency of judges to be overly careful in writing about moral and/or sexual matters the definitions have been cloaked in old-fashioned modesty. Today the term usually applies to pornography, prostitution, and indecent acts.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lascivious_behavior

>In American law mailing lascivious matter is prohibited thus:

Basically, no tits in the mail.

>For example, in 1896, lascivious cohabitation referred to the now-archaic crime of living with a member of the opposite sex and having premarital sex with him or her.[1] In 2015 the laws of three states of the United States (Florida, Michigan and Mississippi) still considered "lascivious cohabitation" as a crime.[2] In 2016 Gov. Rick Scott of Florida signed into law SB 0498 which no longer makes "lascivious cohabitation" a crime.[3]

>Lechery is a behavioral pattern that includes:

Inordinate indulgence in sexual activity
Unrestrained and promiscuous sexuality
Immoderate indulgence of sexual desire
Lewd and lustful behavior


https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/lewd

> sexually unchaste or licentious (see licentious 1) lewd behaviorb : obscene, vulgar lewd remarks

u/InTuxedo · 1 pointr/DoesAnybodyElse

you should read this book that talks all about that,
its called The Boy, author- Germaine Greer , its a woman author

basically its a book disecting art and visual culture and the use of man or rather 'the beautiful boy' and how people respond to that image
how the boy body is actually farm more beautiful , than the woman body thats been idealized, and how women really enjoy this beauty of the seductive boy, but its like a hidden taboo as of late to arise in pop culture.
