ABSTRACT
The achievement of the conditions necessary to female autonomy is a precondition for authentic sexual liberation. Person does not add that rethinking sexuality, changing the norms of sexuality, is a pre-condition for female sexual autonomy; therefore sexuality, and by implication "sexual freedom", is an important, relevant issue for feminist politics. The focus on "sexual liberation" has always carried with it the assumption that the goal of such effort is to make it possible for individuals to engage in more and/or better sexual activity. Feminist movement to end female sexual oppression is linked to lesbian liberation. The struggle to end prejudice, exploitation, and oppression of lesbians and gay men is a crucial feminist agenda. Increasingly, feminist women who are heterosexual are making the point that they choose to have a relationship with an individual man and resist the heterosexist notion that they welcome or are open to the sexual advances of any male.
