\u00a0An understanding of female sexuality cannot be achieved by the anatomical observation of women. \u00a0It must be viewed in the light of social reality.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
The most authentic and solid form of human participation in society is through productive work. \u00a0If we examine the level of women\u2019s participation in productive work the elements of restriction become evident. \u00a0This situation can be explained by the following reasons, among others: firstly, history has been made by men and it is therefore they who determine how women may participate in society. \u00a0Secondly, the manner of women\u2019s participation has been determined by the sectors of society that possess the means of production, which in turn create their own specific values within an ideology of domination. \u00a0This ideology provides for conformity in a total thought process that prevents men as well as women from truly understanding the critical situation that woman\u2019s problem constitutes. \u00a0Thirdly, this ideology of domination perceives women as soft, weak, passive, who do not enjoy having to think and who are conformist, superficial, given to pleasure and frivolity. \u00a0This ideology of domination uses all its resources in order to reproduce this model, which permits the perpetuation of domination. \u00a0The so-called \u201cfeminine personality\u201d has thus been created \u2013 and the social communications media impose this as much upon the minds of women as of men. \u00a0On the other hand, it has been established that biological differences between man and woman do not imply a condition of inequality on the part of woman. \u00a0Anger Egg expresses it thus: \u201cToday one cannot accept any reason, either biological or psychological, that justifies a woman\u2019s dependence on man, or her situation of disadvantage and inferiority.\u201d \u00a0What happens is that this type of society proposes a model of a woman that both women as well as men have internalized. \u00a0This has resulted in a situation that generates a set of preconceptions, on a woman\u2019s part, that she should behave according to the requirements she supposes men expect of her. \u00a0Men, consequently, share in this by completely assuming the role that society has assigned them. \u00a0We must accept the challenge of creating models that do not yet exist and invent new forms. \u00a0In short, we must get out of the mold and stop treating women as objects, a behavior mode that has come about as a result of our cultural, political and ideological conditioning. \u00a0This is not an individual task but a collective one. \u00a0A social change must come about to allow equal participation for both men and women.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Female liberation does not mean imitating men or falling into their same errors. \u00a0Whoever understands it this way is mistaken. \u00a0Female liberation involves a social change that does not exclude women from a fair wage, a change in the law that almost always protects and defends men, as well as in the social and family norms and customs that encourage sexual prejudice against women.<\/span><\/div>\n
