Assignment 02: The sexual contract
Original contract basically constitutes two things i.e. domination and freedom. Here it should be realized that women are not treated equal to men, in other words, men are superior as opposed to women and therefore the contract is patriarchal. In a number of occasions that women are not treated as being powerful as men and therefore, in anything that is basically conducted, they are regarded as subordinate. This idea is absolutely inconsequential in the modern society and this has been replaced with civil society which is anti-patriarchal. In sexual contract, women are also seen as insignificant and men seen as dominant because they are believed to be the people giving this. It has not been realized that indeed in the original contract, there a half that is missing which need to be incorporated in order to make it complete. It should be known that other theorists have companioned this issue and since it was referred to as patriarchal has now been changed because this word cannot be used in the current society.
Indeed, there is a serious need for the women always to participate every single thing that men participate. This tendency in my opinion is primitive and has to end. In any case, women does it better than men why don’t they be given a chance to prove their capabilities? Women are actually incorporated in the contract when the social contract theory is brought about. In other words, this is the theory that advocates for freedom. That is, the inhabitants or those who occupy the state of nature basically exchange the insecurities of freedom to equals. This will bring a sense that when a man and women entire in a contract then they are treated as equals. It is also important to indicate that the contract theorists won in the process of defending the fact that there was a special half missing and also the important political part in the contract is not interpreted properly. In fact, political interpretation the issue of conjugal right emergences and in this case, the father s the one to exercise this to the woman and therefore considered patriarchal.
It is clear that the main reason as to why the very fundamental section has been omitted in the sexual contract is basically the misleading pictures actually given by the civil society about the contact marriage. In fact, patriarchal civil society has been categorized into two parts but happens that only one part is used and the other left out.
