TY - JOUR PY - 2007// TI - Toward a Phenomenology of Sex‐Right: Reviving Radical Feminist Theory of Compulsory Heterosexuality JO - Hypatia A1 - Miriam, Kathy SP - 210 EP - 228 VL - 22 IS - 1 N2 - In this essay, Miriam argues for a phenomenological-hermeneutic approach to the radical feminist theory of sex-right and compulsory heterosexuality. Against critics of radical feminism, she argues that when understood from a phenomenological’ hermeneutic perspective, such theory does not foreclose female sexual agency. On the contrary, men's right of sexual access to women and girls is part of our background understanding of heteronormativity, and thus integral to the lived experience of female sexual agency.
