I do earnestly wish to see the distinction of sex confounded in society, unless where love animates the behaviour.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I do not believe in sex distinction in literature, law, politics, or trade - or that modesty and virtue are more becoming to women than to men, but wish we had more of it everywhere.
I find the question of whether gender differences are biologically determined or socially constructed to be deeply disturbing.
At the present day the crude theory of the sexual impulse held on one side, and the ignorant rejection of theory altogether on the other side, are beginning to be seen as both alike unjustified.
I see the effects of sexual and gender liberation all around me, just like you do, but I don't have a sense of being in the majority.
I'm also interested in the modern suggestion that you can have a combination of love and sex in a marriage - which no previous society has ever believed.
Sex, sexual dynamics and how we define our sexuality, is one of the major deals in everyone's life.
If only we could accept that there is no difference between us where human values are concerned. Whatever sex.
Of course, one way of thinking about all of life and civilization is as being about how the world registers and processes information. Certainly that's what sex is about; that's what history is about.
I've noticed that women are always punished for their sexuality in popular culture.
Sex appeal is the keynote of our civilization.
