question 56

Multiple Choice

"Women don't want to be subjected to rape and perhaps qualifying as a real (white, cis, straight, middle-class) woman under the dominant rules requires being "rapeable." Perhaps being acknowledged as rapeable brings with it protection-the masculinist, paternalistic and controlling kind.
Yet what do we do when white heteropatriarchy deems white women perfect victims, black and brown women never victims, black and brown men always perpetrators, and white men heroic saviors? What do we do when these systems deny lesbians sexual agency by portraying them either as non-sexual in the absence of straight men or hyper-sexual in the presence of straight men? What do we do when these systems need a clear distinction between men and women and so _______ trans, non-binary, and genderqueer folks?"

• A) celebrate
• B) confuse
• C) justify
• D) punish
