ABSTRACT

In this chapter, the author critically reviews literature on the sexual coercion of men by women, and consider how the author might represent and make sense of such phenomena. In the context of she argument in this book, she suggests that it is vitally important to consider the possibilities of women acting as sexual aggressors toward men and men being victimized by women's sexual coercion. When she considers that an invitation to imagine swapping the sexes would not be necessary if sexual difference had no currency, the rhetoric of gender reversal deconstructs itself. The author have argued that both of the most familiar discursive lenses through which this scene can be read that shaped by a male sexual drive discourse and that provided by the operation of gender reversal and assumptions of a gender neutral subject are limited and problematic.
