Aastha Gupta (838) week-4


COMPULSORY HETEROSEXUALITY AND LESBIAN EXISTENCE (week-4)
I experienced this compulsion of heterosexuality while conducting the experiment for the gender in action assignment, when my parents told me that I can learn to love boys because that is the basic tendency of females. The compulsion of loving or being attracted towards the opposite gender is a huge problem in our society. Even the women who call themselves feminist do not support lesbians; they either fire their lesbian co-workers or force them to not come out. People believe lesbians are born out of their spite against men and that lesbians don’t actually exist as proved in the reading in several accounts. People believe that women are only to fulfill the sexual carnations of men and to reproduce. They force heterosexuality as homosexuality has been made abnormal by the society because raising a family together is normal only for a man and a woman not for two men or women. Being a lesbian is more difficult than being gay, I feel this way because women are forced to be economically dependent and are forced to stay in hiding and raise a baby with a man, she can’t run away from the bonds of marriage. The fact that in various parts of our world burning of female clitoris is happening shows male domination in even sexual relations, a woman should not touch herself and should only receive pleasure from a male is one of the sick truths of our society.
