Fifty years of feminism and increasing status and influence for women, it is nevertheless still seen as the norm for men to be the ones seeking sex and women to be those who consent. Yet some argue that until this changes and women become more sexually assertive and men more chaste the power balance will remain skewed in favour of men.
Is the assertion of sexual desire key to power relationships between the sexes? Is this character of sexual relationships between women and men hard wired in our biology, or could they be changed? Would such a shift be desirable and be desired?
