In one foul swoop, LEAF reinscribed sexist and heterosexist understandings of women's sexuality. It is much too simple, I suggest, to posit a direct relation between representation and politics. What images mean, how they mean and for whom, remain questions worthy of consideration. Living in Canada, we must acknowledge that the state wants nothing to do with such a debate. Ironically, anarchist contributions to sexual politics have reproduced this faulty reasoning.
Domination is domination.
Pain is pain. Power is power. This argument obscures the manner in which negotiation is a part of all sexual relations, desires, identities, and practices. X and Y exist in relation to each other, and it seems to me that a valuable anarchist politic would discuss these relations, contexts, and situations. And so, I submit that an endorsement of ToL is a political move entirely in keeping with anarchy.
