Gender should not discriminate peoples’ social life’s Laws and social institutions, which are formed to dignify human beings in different ways. Although the world has many traditions and different origins, dignities of humans show that we all in one globe and we all deserve the same worth. As a result of increased political competition in the 19th century, there is an obvious and great relationship between the body and sexuality. Sexuality must have become a more helpful practice in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In the mid nineteenth century, this term “sex” begun to change the meaning. Male bodies have been viewed as a source of strength and inspiration, in every aspects of the society especially in political contestation. Male are considered as a stronger gender and so they are always trusted with political leadership. Furthermore, this strength has been used to give the male advantages in politics than women. Since time immemorial, the females have been considered weak, to handle political challenges and this fact has been used to stifle their political agendas. In some areas women are considered as house wives and are only given chances when it comes to domestic affairs, while men see that the parts or duties they play are of major importance than the domestic affairs. Since women undergo some stages of growth in comparison to men, examples are pregnancy, monthly periods and such issues, which when in the process can not perform difficulty tasks like addressing a group of people at longer times, they are eventually denied chances because of irregularities to their duties (Hawkesworth 533).
Sexualized body is a site of a political contestation and has the following effects to politics. Due to new technologies and industrialization, sex has grown from one stage to the other compared to the early 17th century. During this time of 17th century sex was really going hand in hand with the religion. It was only practiced according to nature. Nowadays sex has been a tool of exploiting certain group of people, young girls, women and even other men. Due to poverty, some women and men have used it in commercial purposes, so as to generate their income hence leading to immoralities. Examples of these immoralities are lesbianism, homosexual, masturbation, just to mention a few. Since the coming of second wave feminism, lesbian, gay, have affected peoples way of leaving. Peoples’ social life has changed to private and personal life, hence leading to domestic c violence towards sexual relationships, which eventually leads to sexual discriminations. The idea of autonomous being has emerged, which give people freedom and choices over their bodies. in the past, sex was for procreation and its values were highly dignified but now people can do anything to their bodies.Example are, whether to get married or not, to have kids or not to choose this partner or the other ,hence leading to bad practices, which include abortion, sex traffic, pornography and many more. Homosexual, heterosexual, bisexual and multi sexual are also other cases that have emerged. If one can suggest whether to be a woman or a man during sexual intercourse, then it shows that we are leaving in a modern world which some view it with different perspective as a rapid decline (Mackinnon 9).
A political environment is one which brings different people, different ethnic groups, different views and different culture together as a one social group. A number of candidates have emerged as contestation to fill this post socialist. Although politics is to resolve peoples differences and bring them to one social life, there is a difference in specific.example, “life politics”, “the politics of difference”, radical pluralism”, “dialogue democracy” and many more. But when it comes to political debate, the body becomes s gendered, raced and sexualized. For example; bisexual politics, lesbian and gay, test tube babies, cybersex, single parenting and many more are the subject to the agenda. Raced body has been a site for political contestation in many forms which brings about democratic debate. In this democracy there is a founded theory to help and approach different ethnic groups and different social status. When viewed through democratic theory, different groups of people become competitive in broader sense of democratic contestant.So different races have different political understanding,. When it comes to sexuality, we see a number of feminists emerging in different ways. Others considered the act of sex as irrelevant for achieving other goals, and others accept lesbianism and bisexuality as part of feminism. Some people see sex as a site of exploiting others; women and young girls are subjected to the agenda, on a pretex that they need to upgrade their financial status. Feminists have come up with laws such as “sex wars “which guides and protects women and help them have control to their bodies. Prostitution and sex trafficking goes together or mean something almost the same. Prostitution or sex trafficking bring violence, sign of male dominance and exploitation of women at large (Day 828).
