As a contraceptive method, feminism could have made masturbation obligatory, promulgated a sexual strike among heterosexual and fertile women, and advocated lesbianism en masse; made it obligatory to tie the fallopian tubes at adolescence - and legalized abortion and made it free - if not permitting infanticide when necessary. And there is a political fiction scenario that could have been even more promising, it was possible from a biotechnological point of view, to require all women who are of child bearing age to take a monthly microdose of testosterone, as both a contraceptive method and a political method of regulating gender. Such a method would have ended once and for all sexual differentiation and the hegemony of heterosexuality. This doesn't mean that cis-females (on testosterone) would stop having sex with cis-males, but the act would not continue to be interpreted as purely heterosexual. It would have no reproductive goal; in addition, it would no longer be a question of an encounter between two people of opposite sexual orientations, but rather, with two people of gay orientation with the added possibility of vaginal penetration. Post war feminism could have concerned itself with the management of the cis-male body and declared it to be of national interest: castration, male homosexuality, the obligatory use of condoms, the sealing of the seminal channel, mass administration of Androcur (to lower the production of testosterone in cis-males) and so on. Yes, there were other possibilities, but liberal feminism made a pact with the pharamcopornographic regime. - Beatriz Preciado - Testo Junkie
