Vaginal
discharge (i.e. WAP) is produced the most right before and during
ovulation. This is the evolutionary trick to make it easier to get
pregnant. Peter Klevius trick is (when needed) spit. However, although
Peter Klevius since his early teens has been extremely sensitive to
heterosexual attraction (i.e. extremely fit and healthy) this
sensitivity has never made him vulnerable for female seduction, because
unlike many other men (especially many muslim men) Peter Klevius
de-couples a woman's ass from her brain - only to recouple them when the
woman so wants.

Peter
Klevius: Talking about eating the whole cake! Btw, for Peter Klevius
it's easy to either shorten or prolong the act (many ladies out there
would agree because he has always asked) - however, to syncrinize it
doesn't usually come (sorry for the cheap pun) naturally cause there are
two completely different machineries involved.
What is the difference between a "Tomboy" and gender dysphoria? Klevius answer: Sex segregation.
Human Rights rather than religion (Klevius drawing from 1979 - used in many exhibitions back then).
Klevius vocabulary for those poor souls who haven't followed his previous tutorials (shame on you):Sex is biology (male, female or in rare, and for this analysis irrelevant, instances hermaphrodites).
Gender is ever-changing extremely varied cultural expectations, norms or even laws (e.g. sharia) based on biological sex.
Sex segregation
doesn't mean having women and men competing in different groups in
sports because of biological differences (no more than e.g. weight
groups). What it means is a biologically unfounded cultural prejudice
based on biological sex.
Heterosexual attraction is the
only relevant way of distinguishing between women and men. Why? Because
every other distinction is cultural - and giving birth to a child has
nothing to do with men. However, heterosexual attraction only affects
some women (usually younger ones) and only monumentarily. Moreover,
because heterosexual attraction only exists in males (as a built in
address for sperm delivery) but directs towards, and affecting, females,
it can't define some imagined "totality" of femininity/masculinity. And
perhaps most importantly, unlike what Tertullian thought some 1,800
years ago, the Western world has actually proved (as had so called
"primitive" societies long before - see Klevius 1992) that women showing
their bodies in public isn't "a sport of nature" (see Klevius PhD
thesis - extracts available on this blog, see e.g. below). Men can
actually live with it without becoming rapists or necrophiliacs (a term
Klevius has introduced to describe male sexing - e.g. up-skirting - of
women who aren't even aware of it or interested in being the target of
"the male gaze").
Dear reader. Klevius, the world's foremost
expert (sad isn't it) on sex segregation, challenges you to find any
logically inevitable relational sex difference between men and women,
except heterosexual attraction. Monotheist religions are founded on it
but have used its reproductive consequences for cultural self
reproduction. This in turn explains why all monotheisms in general and
islam in particular have problems with the anti-fascist, anti-racist and
ant-sexist 1948 Universal Human Rights declaration which gives equal
rights to all - without exceptions for sex.
Two female
"Tomboys" are given different diagnosis although nothing is wrong with
any of them. Why? Because of desperate sex segregation (see e.g. Klevius
Warning for Feminism 1998).
A (female sex) is a "Tomboy". Boys and girls like her. She also
enjoys her heterosexual attraction (i.e. biological femininity) but on
her own terms.
B (female sex) is also a "Tomboy" but is bullied
by boys and girls and calls herself Rick and feels bothered by
heterosexual attraction. DSM-5 diagnoses her with "gender dysphoria".
The
reason B called herself Rick was the surrounding cultural sex
segregation. If A should have been equally treated she might also had
wanted to call herself Rick.
In Warning for Feminism (1998) Klevius pointed to the fact that the
desperate effort to sex segregate has been proportional to de fact de
sex segregation in practical life. And the main tool for this has been
to enclose girls/women in cultural "femininity".
When Klevius daughter played football in San Francisco she was the only
one with short hair. And when Klevius commented on it for the other
parents they just looked confused and embarrassed when checking the sea
of long pony tales waving in front of them. Klevius got the impression
that they hadn't even thought about it before.

Sikh and Hindu organisations have signed an open letter claiming that
sex-grooming gangs "predominantly originate from a Pakistani muslim

Klevius comment: How could it possibly 'not be islam'? Islam seems to be
defined as 'without negative consequences' although islam itself
eagerly points out such negative consequences of the "disbelievers"
infidels" or "wrong believers" and proudly tells us that we all should
be muslims and if we don't we are just crap - i.e. we are no longer
"innocent" and therefore the legitimate target for whoever lunatic
muslims. This is what your imam means when he says (usually via BBC to
make it sound more serious) that 'islam forbids attacks on innocent
people'.
Islam is all about sex apartheid (sexism) and "hatred against "infidels" (racism). In fact, Klevius blog
Origin if islam - the worst crime ever against humanity, started as a blog against sex segregation and racism.
Klevius has been loaded with at least the average (probably more)
tesosterone since his early teens (i.e. 10-30 times more than most
women). Klevius has also had the opportunity to befriend a lot of
representatives of the opposite sex. Not a single one can report abuse
or failure. However, Klevius has never seduced anyone - precisely
because he has always considered himself prepared for sex whenever while
simultaneously never been in need for sex and therefore left the
initiative to the one with a lower libido! Moreover, Klevius has never
had sex without heterosexual attraction as the motivation - which fact
in no way should be seen as criticism of other forms of sexuality.
Likewise Klevius has often sneezed in the kitchen because of white
pepper but never deliberately thrown white pepper around just because of
the pleasure of sneezing.
The power and curse of biological female heterosexual attraction -
leading to stupid cultural "femininity" and due sex
segregation/apartheid
Teenage girls (and many women as well) realize the power of their asses
but mis-connects it as part of their personhood. And often with
disastrous consequences when males act without respecting basic Human
Rights, i.e. seeing the individual that's connected to the ass.
Is RFSU suffering from sexual correctness or what's going on here? The pic below is from RFSU's campaign "Don't put it in".
Is this man a victim of MGM (male genital mutilation) or is he just religiously mutilated - or both?!
RFSU: 'Don't put it in!'
The video from which the first pic is taken has been a success in Thailand and - Saudi Arabia!
RFSU's picture (top) modified by Klevius (bottom)
The Swedish Association for Sexuality Education (RFSU, Riksförbundet för
sexuell upplysning) is a Swedish nonprofit organization that works with
public opinion formation on sexual and reproductive health and rights
as well as information and education about sexuality and relationships.
One of RFSU's main issues is the right to free abortion. The current
Secretary-General is Åsa Regnér.
RFSU was founded February 24, 1933 by, among others, Elise
Ottesen-Jensen, Gunnar Inghe and Hanna Lundin. Ottesen-Jensen was
chairman from its inception until 1959, and has come to be strongly
associated with the organization, whose journal, Ottar, was named after
her.
RFSU works with information, education and advocacy by organizing
courses, conferences and debates. Moreover the RFSU carries an extensive
international work with similar organizations in other countries. RFSU
is the Swedish national affiliate of the International Planned
Parenthood Federation.
RFSU's booklet “Sex: your own way” for teens is about sexual feelings
and what you can do when caressing, making out, masturbating or having
intercourse with someone.
It is aimed at everyone, whether you have sex on your own, with someone
else, or don’t want to have sex at all. We’re also writing for those who
would like to have sex with someone, but haven’t done it yet.
RFSU believes that sex isn’t just something you do or feel. It’s also
about knowledge. It’s good to have facts and tips, so you can make your
own decisions – now and later in life. Everyone has the right to make
their own decisions about their body and their sexuality.
Openness is a key factor for prevention and sexual health. Everyone
should have the freedom to choose, to be oneself and to enjoy.
Klevius additional clarification
For analytical purpose one needs to distinguish between heterosexual
attraction (residing only in the "male gaze") and physical sexual acts
(incl. intercourse, masturbation etc). Most people are able to feel
sexual pleasure just as Klevius feels pleasure by inhaling a little
white pepper enough to make him sneeze.
However, although men have a stronger overall sex drive (plus the
heterosexual attraction* feature programmed in their brain) than women,
the latter may feel a strong urge sexual around the time of ovulation.
* Do keep in mind that 'heterosexual attraction' is here biological, not cultural! Rapetivism, nymphomania etc are cultural.
The relaxation of the smooth muscle in the vagina and clitoris and the
increase of blood flow into these organs is thought to be essential in
the female sexual response. However, unlike Klevius (and most other men)
who is always ready for hetero sex (but never in need for it) women are
most receptive for sex only a couple of days per month. And how else
could heterosexual reproduction function if not based on heterosexual
attraction implanted in males as a code for seeing females as sexually
attractive? The pistil is receptive for pollen but to get them she has
to attract them, e.g. via honey bees etc. And many male fishes get
aroused not by the female fish but by the eggs on which they spray their
sperm without a penis.
However, due to the fact that religion has made sex so culturally weird,
we now have a situation where heterosexual attraction is used by both
men and women as an excuse for sex segregation/apartheid.
To really see the confusion surrounding heterosexual attraction do consider the following:
Wikipedia: The term heterosexual or heterosexuality is usually applied
to humans, but heterosexual behavior is observed in all mammals and in
other non-human animals.
Klevius: Would you believe it! 'Observed in all mammals and in other
non-human animals'! Since we left the germ state of being, heterosexual
attraction has been the rule of sexuality. It's the very definition of
sexual reproduction, dude! And even in creatures with both sexes within
the same individual there has to be heterosexual attraction to get the
sperm to the egg.
Wikipedia: Heterosexuality is romantic attraction (Klevius: impossible),
sexual attraction or sexual behavior between persons of opposite sex or
gender (sic).
Klevius: Thus single sentence is packed with stupidities.
Heterosexuality can never be romantic attraction because it's purely
physical. 'Hetero' means different biological sex. And what would
cultural 'gender' have to do with biology!
Wikipedia's senseless babble continues: As a sexual orientation (sic),
heterosexuality is "an enduring pattern of emotional (sic), romantic
(sic), and/or sexual attractions" to persons of the opposite sex; it
"also refers to a person's sense of identity (Klevius: How could
physiology suddenly become cultural?!) based on those attractions,
related behaviors, and membership in a community (sic) of others who
share those attractions."
Klevius: Unbelievable conflation of poorly understood (or poorly
conceptualized) concepts. Heterosexual' can not be anything else than
based on biology, i.e. sex - no matter what you or someone else thinks
about it. And yes, you can well be attracted to someone of the opposite
sex without it being heterosexual! And the other way round, a man can
get heterosexually attracted to someone of the same sex who mimics the
opposite sex. What determines heterosexuality is what the man thinks it
is. To understand this you may compare a cyber sex robot whom you can't
distinguish from a living person.
Drawing (1979) and photo (2012) by Peter Klevius.
Islam is a grave violation of women's sexual freedom (incl. freedom from
sex all together). However, Human Rights freedom lets you lead your
life as you wish.
The main outlet of islamofascism - i.e. the "respectable" wrapping that
really makes it tick. By allowing sharia islam into UN history repeats
itself. Either UN as a whole or sharia islam (islamofascism) has to go.
It's precisely UN's and PC babblers' "diversity" (islam) rhetoric that
paves the way for and legitimizes muslim "extremisms" and gives their
cause something to resonate from.
Saudi based OIC (and its sharia declaration against the most basic of
Human Rights) and its Saudi Fuhrer Iyad Madani constitutes the backbone
of islamofascism today. So what do you have to say - you half to one
billion anti-sharia "muslims"? Talk louder cause Klevius can't hear you!

Klevius beats BBC when it comes to true reporting about OIC!
Totalitarian fanaticism replacing Human
Rights while BBC misinforms muslims and others on how they're robbed of
their Human Rights!
Sadly, Klevius is still the foremost (and lone?!) expert on sex
segregation/apartheid and, consequently, also the web's foremost expert
on islam. Why? Because islam rests so heavily on
sex segregation/apartheid,
even in its most "secular" form (as long as it's meaningful at all to
call it islam) that an effort to understand islam without understanding
sex segregation/apartheid is doomed to complete failure! In essence what
Klevius is doing is in Bourdieu's words 'to restore to historical
action, the relationship between the sexes that the naturalistic and
essentialist vision removes from them'. And where Bourdieu went to the
Kabyles Klevius went to the origin of islam, Christianity and Judaism!
Klevius beats BBC in reporting on the
most essential and critical issue of our time: OIC and its Fuhrer
Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu's islamofascist violation of the most basic of
Human Rights!
BBC, the largest broadcaster in the world, has as its main responsibility to provide impartial public service broadcasting.
Klevius question: How come then that Klevius beats BBC when it
comes to informing about OIC? As you can see on the 'OIC BBC' search
below Klevius' 'BBC News', i.e. not BBC, is the first to offer real info
about OIC. on the web (see the eighth result on the pic below: BBC News
by Klevius)! And to really prove it you will find a picture of the
first BBC post (BBC News - Profile: Organization of the Islamic
Conference) further down to show that it completely avoids to inform the
most essential feature of OIC, namely that it has abandoned Human
Rights and replaced them with Sharia.
According to BBC OIC's aims are to 'safeguard islamic holy places'
(Klevius comment: Those places are already carefully destroyed by the
Sauds) and toe eradicate racial discrimination (meaning Human Rights
"discrimination" of islamic Sharia) and colonialism (sic - islam has
been the worst colonizer ever throughout 1400 years!). But nowhere in
BBC's text can you find the most important namely OIC's violation of
Human Rights by replacing them with Sharia!
While BBC has some 23,000 staff Klevius is not only alone* and without
resources, he is also deliberately hindered in his extremely informative
work by active and continuous "islamophobia filtering". Yes, Klevius
knows that he could do much better by avoiding words like
'islamofascism' etc. but he loves it.
* no offence to other "islamophobes" out there but Klevius happens to be
the one with the best potency for evaluating the origin of islam from a
perspective of sex segregation/rapetivism.

indifference."
Klevius comment:
Heterosexual attraction (HSA) combined with sex segregation
is often disastrous for human relations! Only with full access to
respective social spheres, as well as full awareness of the HSA
discrepancy between the sexes (i.e. what möst feminists deny) an open
de-sex segregated interaction is possible' HSA per se doesn't
presupposes/determines sex of any kind - neither does women "need a
normal penis several times" (S. Freud) nor does a male need to rape.
What could the older wife possibly offer her husband behind an
impenetrable wall of sex segregation when her physical attraction didn't
work anymore? Only islam was satisfied because she had to continue her
inescapable (Sharia & apostasy ban) fate of fostering new islamists!

Rapetivism and heterosexual attraction
Researching rapetivism in research
Klevius (who seems to be, sad to say, still the world's foremost expert on sex segregation):
Sexism is a widespread social disease fueled by sex
segregation/apartheid. And it's not cured by covering in burqas and
Sharia.
Sex segregation results in girls being stripped off their humanhood and hence becoming the sole target for heterosexiual attraction
and cultural sexism. Usually the only sex freed relationship outside a
girl's own sex in a sex segregated world is with close male kins
(because they lack bio-heterosexual attraction).
Rapetivism
, i.e. the enslavement/abuse of confined/veiled girls/women as physical
and cultural reproducers of as many new muslims (i.e. islam) as possible under the
threats from Sharia and apostasy ban, is, in fact, a form of HSA perversion , i.e. "cultural/physical necrophilia" that rests on cultural sex segregation.
However, although islam is the ultimate sex segregation/apartheid, most of us, at
least partially, still suffer under milder forms of the same cultural
disease. This (+ our untreated vulnerability for fascism) is the main
reason why evil medieval islam has been able to rise its ugly face of
slavery/racism/sexism again.
(text extracted from Klevius old original writings)
So underpinning these rapes and sexist attitudes lies a cultural sex
segregation/apartheid that is codified in the Bible and driven to
ultimate excess in the Koran/Sharia.
God made Adam in his image but to entertain Adam he created a being
called Eve from the least valuable part of Adam's skeleton, i.e. a
ribbon which happens to be the only bone that has multiple copies and
which doesn't cause much of a trouble even if broken.

Muslim stupidity behind islam's misogyny
Klevius, the world's foremost expert on sex segregation (sad isn't it),

Samantha Lewthwaite, Mishal Husain (BBC's sharia presenter) and Michael
Adebolajo all have islam and its Human Rights violating sharia in common
onislam.net (a deceptive but popular A/Q site for naive/ignorant
people): By covering herself, a Muslim woman declares that she is equal
to man and has brains. She closes the door to being seen as “a piece of
meat”.
Klevius: Really! Muslim women have brains! A muslim brain,
is it? However, Klevius has always enjoyed seeing his infidel
girlfriends and wives as heterosexually attractive (i.e. what muslims
see as “a piece of meat”). However, unlike all true muslims (defined
according to onislam.net) and many sexist non-muslims as well, Klevius
has always seen women as equal to himself - even while appreciating
their heterosexual attraction and during sexual acts. This approach
seems to be radically different from muslim sex predators who, following
the Koran and onislam.net etc., see "infidel" girls/women as sex slaves
'their right hand possesses'. In other words, whereas muslim women just
belong to an inferior "race" in need of male dictators, non-muslim
women are considered even lower than that. Klevius approach, however,
goes in the very opposite direction and makes it possible for him to
encounter, on an equal basis women with or without heterosexual
attraction! Klevius is the opposite to Casanova or Don Juan and has
never ever seduced a woman - and he is extremely proud about it. Why
should he even try to lure her into something and consequently loose the
human virginity in the relation?! And how could one fully enjoy a
relation with a woman if there are mutual "no go zones" - not to mention
restrictions laid on her? And what if the woman isn't interested in
heterosex or sex at all? The fact that Klevius might appreciate the look
of a woman's body doesn't make him believe the woman wants it. And
although Klevius has nothing to say about voyeurism emanating from women
themselves, he completely disapprove of peeping Tom. Likewise Klevius
can not comprehend how anyone could be aroused by seeing a naked woman
who isn't herself aware and positive to it. Klevius files such
perversions under necrophilia.
onislam.net: As for women
praying behind men, it is not, my dear (sic), because they are inferior.
Muslim prayers involve bowing and prostrating. If women were next to or
in front of men, their movements would be distracting. It is again, to
keep their chastity and avoid focusing on their bodily existence.
Klevius:
Poor muslim men. They seem to be real extremists. Although Klevius
would love to be unique, facts seem to prove him "extremely"* normal".
Unlike muslims, the majority of civilized men have no problem seeing
female bodies without connecting it to sex or sexism, not to mention
rape etc. Where Klevius differs from many other civilized men is only
when it comes to sex segregation, i.e. the prevalent but so problematic
confusion produced by mixing heterosexual attraction with the human
person. And in this both men and women have been guilty of upholding a
perverted view on each other. This is also why Klevius always refers to
the (negative) Human Rights declaration from 1948 which clearly states
that one's sex ought not to infringe on one's Human Rights - as it does
in islam and which caused OIC (all muslims Saudi based and Saudi steered
world Umma organization) to abandon Human Rights and replace them with
misogynist sharia.
* Among
1.5+ Billion muslims and another 1.5+ Billion naively/ignorant (or
purely evil) muslim supporters, Klevius normality has to be underscored
in the same way as his normality in defending Human Rights isn't
"extremism" but extremely important today.
onislam.net: In
Islam, the husband is responsible for all the expenses of the household.
Then, in return, the wife is to guard his property and her chastity in
his absence. She is to obey him in things regarding their life together.
Klevius: An imprisoned whore!
onislam.net:
A Muslim husband has the right to order his non-Muslim wife not to
serve pork or alcohol in the house. Yet, he is also responsible not to
offend her creed or prohibit her from her given right of worshiping,
according to her Christian or Jewish faith.
Klevius: Only
Christian or Jewish faith? What about people outside the book, i.e. the
majority of the world's population? And is she allowed to eat pork? More
to the point, Klevius would hate to be a family dictator. Why? Because
Klevius believes in democracy. Which fact doesn't exclude criticism of
bad decisions/opinions. And the best way to criticize is to highlight
possible drawbacks and let her balance them just as she would do against
his. I.e. that kind of criticism that isn't allowed against islam!
onislam.net:
But, if a Muslim woman were to marry a non-Muslim man and he ordered
her to serve pork or alcohol, what would she do? What if he ordered her
not to pray or fast?
Klevius: She doesn't have to eat it, does
she, precisely because he is a non-muslim. Or should we interpret it as
muslim women aren't allowed to even touch wine bottles or pork packages
etc. Islam is a laughably rigid system of restrictions and impositions.
And a civilized non-muslim man would probably not "order" a woman at
all. Only in the worst ever ideological hate crime is it today possible
to even hint at such stupidities.
onislam.net: A Muslim wife is
originally obliged to obey her husband, in order to maintain peace and
love with the family relations. Yet, off course a woman should obey
Allah first. So, if there is conflict between the husband’s demands and
Allah’s orders, it puts a great strain on the marriage. Thus, Islam
prohibits a Muslim woman from marrying a non-Muslim man.
Klevius: Not at all. The will of "Allah" is completely deleted in islam.
The real reason is that the kids should become muslims. And this
extreme one way immoral is perhaps the most striking feature of islam
compared to civilized Human Rights thinking.
onislam.net: Even if a non-Muslim wife doesn't respect Islam the
Muslim husband has the right to demand certain behavior from her.
Klevius:
"Certain behavior" like domestic sex slavery and responsibility to
foster her kids to muslim jihadis and not according to her own beliefs.
onislam.net:
Men and women do not have the same responsibilities and rights in
Islam. For example, the wife has the right to stay home and care for
her young children. She can instill the best values in them. She can
build a strong family… and strong families build strong healthy
societies.
Klevius: Healthy societies?! The majority of the most
unhealthy societies are and have always been muslim caliphates, nations
or muslim communities! No matter if a muslim nation is rich due to
slavery or Western oil money, or poor when this is lacking - the result
is always unhealthy societies!

Klevius sex and gender tutorial
Klevius' proposal to bright minded and non-biased readers: Do read
EMAH,
i.e. how continuous integration in Thalamus of complex neural patterns
without the assistance of one or infinite "Homunculus" constitutes the
basis for memory and "consciousness".
Klevius quest of the day: What's the difference between the Pope and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg?
Klevius hint: It's all about 'not sameness' and Human Rights! Human Rights IS 'sameness' stupid!
When God was created he was made like Adam.
When the basic idea of Universal Human Rights was created it was made like Adam AND Eve.
And for you who think heterosexual attraction, i.e. that women are
sexier than men, could be (exc)used as a reason for depriving women of
legal sameness. Please, do think again!And read Klevius Sex and Gender
Tutorial below - if you can!
The Plan of God
A Cardinal, a Pope and a Justice "from medieval times"
Keith O'Brien has reiterated the Catholic Church's continued
opposition to civil partnerships and suggested that there should be no
laws that "facilitate" same-sex relationships, which he claimed were
"harmful", arguing that “The empirical evidence is clear, same-sex
relationships are demonstrably harmful to the medical, emotional and
spiritual wellbeing of those involved, no compassionate society should
ever enact legislation to facilitate or promote such relationships, we
have failed those who struggle with same-sex attraction and wider
society by our actions.”
Four male members of the Scottish Catholic clergy allegedly claim that
Keith O'Brien had abused his position as a member of the church
hierarchy by making unwanted homosexual advances towards them in the
1980s.
Keith O'Brien criticized the concept of same-sex marriage saying it
would shame the United Kingdom and that promoting such things would
degenerate society further.
Pope Francis, aka Jorge Bergoglio: Same-sex is a destructive
pretension against the plan of God. We are not talking about a mere
bill, but rather a machination of the Father of Lies that seeks to
confuse and deceive the children of God." He has also insisted that
adoption by gay and lesbian people is a form of discrimination against
children. This position received a rebuke from Argentine president
Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, who said the church's tone was
reminiscent of "medieval times and the Inquisition".
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg: 'Sex' is a dirty word, so let's use 'gender' instead!
Klevius: Let's not!
As previously and repeatedly pointed out by Klevius, the treacherous use
of 'gender' instead of 'sex' is not only confusing but deliberately so.
So when Jewish Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg proposed gender' as a
synonyme for 'sex' (meaning biological sex) she also helped to shut the
door for many a young girl's/woman's possibilities to climb outside the
gender cage.
The Universal Human Rights declaration clearly states that your
biological sex should not be referred to as an excuse for limiting your
rights.
Islam (now represented by OIC and its Sharia declaration) is the
worst and most dangerous form of sex segregation - no matter in how
modern clothing it's presented!
Klevius Sex and Gender Tutorial
What is 'gender' anyway?
(text randomly extracted from some scientific writings by Klevius)
It might be argued that it is the
developing girl, not the grown up woman, who is the most receptive to
new experience, but yet is also the most vulnerable. Therefore we need to address the analysis of the tyranny of gender before
the point at where it's already too late. I prefer to use
the term ‘female’ instead of ‘woman’, when appropriate in
this discussion. I also prefer not to define women in relation to
men, i.e. in line with the word 'universal' in the Human Rights
Declaration. In short, I propose 'gender blindness' equally as, for
example, 'color blindness'.
According to Connell (2003:184), it is an old and
disreputable habit to define women mainly on the basis of their
relation to men. Moreover, this approach may also constitute a
possible cause of confusion when compared to a definition of ‘gender’
which emphasizes social relations on the basis of ‘reproductive
differences’.
To really grasp the absurdity of
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's and others habit of confusing 'gender'
with 'sex' one may consider that “normal” women live in the same
gender trap tyranny as do transsexuals.
The definition of ‘acquired gender’
is described in a guidance for/about transsexuals as:
Transsexual people have the deep
conviction that the gender to which they were assigned at birth on
the basis of their physical anatomy (referred to as their “birth
gender”) is incorrect. That conviction will often lead them to take
steps to present themselves to the world in the opposite gender.
Often, transsexual people will undergo hormonal or surgical treatment
to bring their physical identity into line with their preferred
gender identity.
This evokes the extinction of the
feminine or women as directly dependent on the existence of the
masculine or men. Whereas the feminine cannot be defined without the
masculine, the same applies to women who cannot be defined - only
described - without men.
Female footballers, for example - as
opposed to feminine footballers, both male and female - are, just
like the target group of feminism, by definition distinguished by
sex. Although this classification is a physical segregation – most
often based on a delivery room assessment made official and not at
all taking into account physical size, strength, skills etc. - other
aspects of sex difference, now usually called ‘gender’, seem to
be layered on top of this dichotomy. This review departs from the
understanding that there are two main categories that distinguish
females, i.e. the physical sex belonging, for example, that only
biological women may participate in a certain competition, and the
cultural sex determination, for example that some sports are less
‘feminine’ than others.
‘Gender’, is synonymous with sex segregation, given
that the example of participation on the ground of one’s biological
sex is simply a rule for a certain agreed activity and hence not sex
segregation in the form of stipulated or assumed separatism. Such sex
segregation is still common even in societies which have prescribed
to notions of general human freedom regardless of sex and in
accordance with Human Rights. This is because of a common consensus
that sex segregation is ‘good’ although its effects are bad.
In
Durkheim’s (1984: 142) view such ‘organized despotism’ is where
the individual and the collective consciousness are almost the same.
Then sui generis, a new life may be added on to that of the main
body. As a consequence, this freer and more independent state
progresses and consolidates itself (Durkheim 1984: 284).
However,
consensus may also rest on an imbalance that is upheld and may even
strengthen precisely as an effect of the initial imbalance. In such a
case ‘organized despotism’ becomes the means for conservation. As
a consequence, the only alternative would be to ease restrictions,
which is something fundamentally different from proposing how people
should live their lives. ‘Organized despotism’ in this meaning
may apply to gender and to sex segregation as well.
According to Connell (2003) whose
confused view may be closer to that of Justice Ginsburg, gender is
neither biology, nor a fixed dichotomy, but it has a special relation
to the human body mirrored in a ‘general perception’. Cultural
patterns do not only mirror bodily differences. Gender is ‘a
structure’ of social relations/practices concentrated to ‘the
reproductive arena’, and a series of due practices in social
processes. That is, gender describes how society relates to the human
body, and has due consequences for our private life and for the
future of wo/mankind (Connell 2003:21-22).
Gender is neither biology, nor a fixed

thought that cultural patterns only mirror bodily differences. Gender
is “a structure” of social relations/practices concentrated to
“the reproductive arena”, and a series of due practices in the
social processes. I.e. it describes how society relates to the human
body, and due consequences to our private life and for the future of
wo/mankind (Connell 2003:21-22). The main problem here involves how
to talk without gender.
... sex should properly refer to the
biological aspects of male and female existence. Sex differences
should therefore only be used to refer to physiology, anatomy,
genetics, hormones and so forth. Gender should properly be used to
refer to all the non‑biological aspects of differences between
males and females ‑ clothes, interests, attitudes, behaviours
and aptitudes, for example ‑ which separate 'masculine' from
'feminine' life styles (Delamont 1980: 5 in Hargreaves 1994:146).
The distinction between sex and gender
implied in these quotations, however, does not seem to resolve the
issue precisely because it fails to offer a tool for discriminating
biological aspects of differences from non-biological, i.e. cultural.
This is also reflected in everyday life “folk categories of sex and
gender” which (most?) often appear to be used as if they were the
same. Although 'masculine' and 'feminine' are social realities, there
is a mystique about their being predetermined by biology” (ibid).
Furthermore the very relational meaning of ‘gender’ seems to
constitute a too an obvious hiding place for essentialism based on
sex. Apart from being ‘structure’, as noted above, gender is,
according to Connell, all about relations (2003:20). However, if
there are none, or if the relations are excluding, the concept of sex
segregation may be even more useful.
It seems that 'masculine' and
'feminine’ in this definition of gender is confusingly close to the
‘mystique about their being predetermined by biology’ when
compared to the ‘reproductive arena’ and ‘reproductive
differences’ in Connell’s definition of gender. However, although
gender, according to Connell (2003: 96), may also be ‘removed’
the crucial issue is whether those who are segregated really want to
de-sex segregate? As long as the benefits of a breakout are not
clearly assessable, the possible negative effects may undermine such
efforts.
According to Connell (2003:20) the very
key to the understanding of gender is not to focus on differences,
but, instead, to focus on relations. In fact, this distinction is
crucial here because relations, contrary to differences, are mutually
dependent. Whatever difference existing between the sexes is
meaningless unless it is connected via a relation. On the one hand,
big male muscles can hardly be of relational use other than in cases
of domestic violence, and on the other hand, wage gaps cannot be
identified without a comparative relation to the other sex.
Biological determinism is influential
in the general discourse of sports academia (Hargreaves 1994:8).
However, what remains to analyse is whether ‘gender’ is really a
successful concept for dealing with biological determinism?
‘To explain the cultural at the level
of the biological encourages the exaggeration and approval of
analyses based on distinctions between men and women, and masks the
complex relationship between the biological and the cultural’
(Hargreaves 1994:8).
With another example: to explain the
cultural (driver) at the level of the technical (type of car)
encourages the exaggeration and approval of analyses based on
distinctions between cars, and masks the complex relationship between
the car and the driver. However, also the contrary seems to hold
true;. that the cultural (driver/gender) gets tied to the
technical/biological. The ‘complex relationship’ between the car
and the driver is easily avoided by using similar1 cars, hence making
the driver more visible. In a sex/gender setting the ‘complex
relationship’ between sex and gender is easily avoided by
distinguishing between sex and culture2, hence making culture more
visible. The term ‘culture’, unlike the term ‘gender’ clearly
tries to avoid the ‘complex relationship’ between biology and
gender. The ‘complex relationship’ makes it, in fact, impossible
to distinguish between them. On top of this comes the ‘gender
relation’ confusion, which determines people to have ‘gender
relations’, i.e. to be opposite or separate.
This kind of gender view is popular,
perhaps because it may serve as a convenient way out from directly
confronting the biology/culture distinction, and seems to be the
prevalent trend, to the extent that ‘gender’ has conceptually
replaced ‘sex’, leading to the consequence that the latter has
become more or less self-evident and thus almost beyond scrutiny. In
other words, by using ‘gender’ as a sign for ‘the complex
relationship between the biological and the cultural’, biological
determinism becomes more difficult to access analytically.
Gender is neither biology, nor a fixed
dichotomy, but it has a special relation to the human body mirrored
in a ‘general perception.’ What is problematic with this view is
the thought that cultural patterns only mirror bodily differences.
Gender is ‘a structure’ of social relations/practices
concentrated to ‘the reproductive arena’, and a series of due
practices in social processes. That is, it describes how society
relates to the human body and has due consequences to our private
life and for the future of wo/mankind (Connell 2003: 21-22). The main
problem here involves how to talk sex without gender:
‘Sex should properly refer to the
biological aspects of male and female existence. Sex differences
should therefore only be used to refer to physiology, anatomy,
genetics, hormones and so forth. Gender should properly be used to
refer to all the nonbiological aspects of differences between males
and females clothes, interests, attitudes, behaviours and aptitudes,
for example which separate 'masculine' from 'feminine' lifestyles’
(Delamont 1980 quoted in Hargreaves 1994: 146).
The distinction between sex and gender
implied in these quotations, however, does not seem to resolve the
issue, precisely because it fails to offer a tool for discriminating
biological aspects of differences from non-biological ones, i.e.
those that are cultural. This is also reflected in everyday life.
‘Folk’ categories of sex and gender often appear to be used as if
they were the same thing. Although 'masculine' and 'feminine' are
social realities, there is a mystique about their being predetermined
by biology. Furthermore the very relational meaning of ‘gender’
seems to constitute a too obvious hiding place for a brand of
essentialism based on sex. Apart from being ‘structure’, as noted
above, gender is, according to Connell (2003:20), all about
relations. However, if there are none - or if the relations are
excluding - the concept of sex segregation may be even more useful.
In Connell’s analysis, however,
gender may also be removed (Connell 2003:96). In this respect and as
a consequence, gender equals sex segregation. In fact it seems that
the 'masculine' and 'feminine’, in the definition of gender above,
are confusingly close to the ‘mystique about their being
predetermined by biology’ when compared to the ‘reproductive
arena’ and ‘reproductive differences’ in Connell’s (2003:21)
definition of gender. The elusiveness of gender seems to reveal a
point of focus rather than a thorough-going conceptualization. So,
for example, in traditional Engels/Marx thinking the family’s
mediating formation between class and state excludes the politics of
gender (Haraway 1991: 131).
What's a Woman?
In What is a Woman? Moi (1999) attacks
the concept of gender while still emphasizing the importance of the
concept of the feminine and a strong self-conscious (female) subject
that combines the personal and the theoretical within it. Moi (1999:
76), hence, seems to propose a loose sex/gender axis resting on a
rigid womanhood based on women’s context bound, lived experience
outside the realm of men’s experience.
Although I share Moi’s suggestion for
abandoning the category of gender, her analysis seems to contribute
to a certain confusion and to an almost incalculable theoretical
abstraction in the sex/gender distinction because it keeps
maintaining sex segregation without offering a convincing defence for
it. Although gender, for example, is seen as a nature-culture
distinction, something that essentializes non-essential differences
between women and men, the same may be said about Moi’s approach if
we understand her ‘woman’ as, mainly, the mainstream biological
one usually classified (prematurely) in the delivery room. If the
sexes live in separate spheres, as Moi’s analysis seems to imply,
the lived, contextual experience of women appears as less suitable
for pioneering on men’s territory.
This raises the question about
whether the opening up of new frontiers for females may demand the
lessening or even the absence of femininity (and masculinity). In
fact, it is believed here that the ‘liminal state’ where social
progression might best occur, is precisely that. Gender as an
educated ‘facticity’ then, from this point of view, will
inevitably enter into a state of world view that adds itself onto the
‘lived body’ as a constraint.
It is assumed here that we commonly
conflate constructs of sex, gender, and sexuality. When sex is
defined as the ‘biological’ aspects of male and female, then this
conceptualization is here understood as purely descriptive. When
gender is said to include social practices organized in relation to
biological sex (Connell 1987), and when gender refers to
context/time-specific and changeable socially constructed
relationships of social attributes and opportunities learned through
socialization processes, between women and men, this is also here
understood as descriptive. However, when description of gender
transforms into active construction of gender, e.g. through secrets
about its analytical gain, it subsequently transforms into a
compulsory necessity. Gendering hence may blindfold gender-blind
opportunities.
In conclusion, if gender is here
understood as a social construct, then is not coupled to sex but to
context, and dependent on time. Also it is here understood that every
person may possess not only one but a variety of genders. Even if we
consider gender to be locked together with the life history of a
single individual the above conceptualization makes a single,
personal gender impossible, longitudinally as well as
contemporaneously. Whereas gender is constructive and deterministic,
sex is descriptive and non-deterministic. In this sense, gender as an
analytical tool leaves little room for the Tomboy.
The Tomboy - a threat to "femininity"
Noncompliance with what is assumed
‘feminine’ threatens established or presumed sex segregation.
What is perceived as ‘masculinity’ or ‘maleness’ in women, as
a consequence, may only in second place, target homosexuality. In
accordance with this line of thought, the Tomboy embodies both the
threat and the possibilities for gendered respectively gender-blind
opportunity structures.
The Tomboy is the loophole out of gender
relations. Desires revealed through sport may have been with females
under the guise of a different identity, such as that of the Tomboy
(Kotarba & Held 2007: 163). Girls throw balls ‘like girls’
and do not tackle like boys because of a female perception of their
bodies as objects of action (Young 2000:150 cited in Kotarba &
Held 2007: 155).
However, when women lacking experience
of how to act in an effective manner in sport are taught about how to
do, they have no problem performing, quite contrary to explaining
shortcomings as due to innate causes (Kotarba & Held 2007: 157).
This is also opposite to the experiences of male-to-female
transsexuals who through thorough exercise learn how to feminisize
their movements (Schrock & Boyd 2006:53-55). Although, according
to Hargreaves (1994), most separatist sports philosophies have been a
reaction to dominant ideas about the biological and psychological
predispositions of men and women, supposedly rendering men 'naturally
suited to sports, and women, by comparison, essentially less suited
(Hargreaves 1994:29-30), the opposite may also hold true. Separatism
per definition needs to separate and this separation is often based
on biological differences, be it skin colour, sex or something else.
From this perspective, the Tomboy would constitute a theoretical
anomaly in a feminine separatist setting. Although her physical body
would possibly qualify what makes her a Tomboy would not.
The observation that in mixed
playgrounds, and in other areas of the school environment, boys
monopolize the physical space (Hargreaves 1994:151) may lack the
additional notion that certain boys dominate and certain boys do not.
Sports feminists have 'politicized' these kinds of experience by
drawing connections between ideas and practice (Hargreaves 1994:3)
but because of a separatist approach may exclude similar experience
among parts of the boys. Moreover, a separatist approach is never
waterproof and may hence leak Tomboy girls without a notion.
Femininity and feminism
Feminism and psychoanalysis as oppressors
According to Collier and Yanagisako
(1987), Henrietta Moore (1994) and other feminist anthropologists,
patriarchal dominance is an inseparable socially inherited part of
the conventional family system. This implicit suggestion of radical
surgery does not, however, count on unwanted secondary effects
neither on the problem with segregated or non-segregated sex-worlds.
If, in other words, oppression is related to gender segregation
rather than patriarchy, or perhaps that patriarchy is a product of
sex segregation, then there seems to be a serious problem of
intellectual survival facing feminists themselves. If feminism1 is to
be understood as an approach and/or analytical tool for separatism2,
those feminists and others who propose not only analytical
segregation but also practical segregation, face the problem of
possible oppression inherent in this very segregation (Klevius 1994,
1996). In this sense oppression is related to sex segregation in two
ways:
1. As a means for naming it (feminism)
for an analytical purpose.
2. As a social consequence or political
strategy (e.g. negative bias against female football or a separatist
strategy for female football).
It is notable that the psychoanalytic movement has not only been contemporary with feminism, but it
has also followed (or led) the same pattern of concern and proposed
warnings and corrections that has marked the history of ‘feminism’
in the 20th century. According to S. Freud, the essence of the
analytic profession is feminine and the psychoanalyst ‘a woman in
love’ (L. Appignanesi & J. Forrester 1992:189). But
psychoanalytically speaking, formalized sex and sex segregation also
seem to have been troublesome components in the lives of female
psychoanalysts struggling under a variety of assumed, but
irreconcilable femininities and professional expectations.
In
studying the history of feminism one inevitable encounters what is
called ‘the women’s movement’. While there is a variety of
different feminisms, and because the borders between them, as well as
to what is interpreted as the women’s rights movement, some
historians, incl. Klevius, question the distinction and/or methods in use for this
distinction.
However, it could also be argued that
whereas the women’s right movement may be distinguished by its lack
of active separatism within the proposed objectives of the movement,
feminism ought to be distinguished as a multifaceted separatist
movement based on what is considered feminine values, i.e. what is
implied by the very word ‘feminism’3. From this perspective the
use of the term ‘feminism’ before the last decades of the 19th
century has to be re-evaluated, as has every such usage that does not
take into account the separatist nature underpinning all feminisms.
Here it is understood that the concept ‘feminism’, and its
derivatives, in every usage implies a distinction based on separating
the sexes - e.g. addressing inequality or inequity - between male and
female (see discussion above). So although ’feminism’ and
‘feminisms’ would be meaningless without such a separation, the
‘women’s rights movement’, seen as based on a distinct aim for
equality with men in certain legal respects, e.g. the right to vote,
could be described as the opposite, i.e. de-segregation, ‘gender
blindness’ etc.
As a consequence the use of the word
feminism in a context where it seems inappropriate is here excepted
when the authors referred to have decided to do so. The feminist
movement went back to Mary Wollstonecraft and to some French
revolutionaries of the end of the eighteenth century, but it had
developed slowly. In the period 1880 to 1900, however, the struggle
was taken up again with renewed vigour, even though most
contemporaries viewed it as idealistic and hopeless. Nevertheless, it
resulted in ideological discussions about the natural equality or
non-equality of the sexes, and the psychology of women. (Ellenberger
1970: 291-292).
Not only feminist gynocentrists, but
also anti-feminist misogynists contributed with their own
pronouncements on the woman issue. In 1901, for example, the German
psychiatrist Moebius published a treatise, On the Physiological
Imbecility of Woman, according to which, woman is physically and
mentally intermediate between the child and man (see Ellenberger
1970:292). However, according to the underlying presumption of this
thesis, i.e. that the borders between gynocentrism and misogyny are
not well understood, these two approaches are seen as more or less
synonymous. Such a view also confirms with a multitude of points in
common between psychoanalysis and feminism. As was argued earlier,
the main quality of separatism and ‘complementarism’ is an
insurmountable border, sometimes contained under the titles: love,
desire etc.
