Male sexuality is apparently activated by violence against women and expresses itself in violence against women to a significant extent. - Catharine MacKinnon

Women are socially disadvantaged in controlling sexual access to their bodies through socialization to customs that define a woman's body as for sexual use by men. Sexual access is regularly forced or pressured or routinized beyond denial.

Stopped as attribute of a person, sex inequality takes the form of gender; moving as a relation between people, it takes the form of sexuality. Gender emerges as the congealed form of the sexualization of inequaltiy between men and women.

In all these situations, there was not enough violence against them to take it beyond the category of "sex"; they were not coerced enough.
