Men, Sex and Power

MICHAEL HALEWOOD

ABSTRACT

The following piece of work does not follow the traditional format of scholarly essays. Although I do postulate a specific thesis - that male sexuality is a political construct and as such is vulnerable to feminist criticism - I do not attempt to adduce rationally persuasive arguments in favour of that notion. Instead, I provide a personal account of my own reactions to feminist legal and political theory and rely on emotive, intuitive, non-adversarial, non-rational forms of communication. Accordingly, the piece undermines an assumption crucial to the practice of law: that only procedurally formal, rational argument is valid.
