Ellen Willis and pro-sex feminism

 
Ellen Willis (feminist American rock journalist)
 
Preciado 338: "For Willis, when abolitionist feminists ask the state to regulate the reproduction of sexuality, they are granting too much power to a patriarchal institution whose historical goal has always been the subjugation of the female body and the reinforcement of the masculine gaze and enjoyment."
 
Willis would be the first to call 'pro-sex feminism' the sexopolitical movement that categorizes female pleasure and the female body as political spaces of resistance to the control and normalization of sexuality"
