About this Quote

This quote by Catharine MacKinnon is an effective statement about the power dynamics between men and women in sexual relationships. MacKinnon is arguing that when a lady has sex and feels violated, it is a form of rape. This is due to the fact that the lady is not in a position of power and is not able to offer her complete authorization. MacKinnon is making the point that even if a lady has actually consented to sex, if she feels violated afterwards, it is still a form of rape. This quote highlights the significance of comprehending the power dynamics in between males and females in sexual relationships and the requirement for consent to be provided freely and without coercion. MacKinnon's quote is a tip that females need to be respected and their consent must be taken seriously.
