Feminist views on sexual orientation widely vary. Feminist views on sexual orientation are often influenced by the personal experiences of feminists, as expressed in the feminist slogan "the personal is political." Because of this, many feminists view sexual orientation as a political issue and not merely a matter of individual sexual choice or preference. ==Feminism and asexuality== A 1977 paper entitled ''Asexual and Autoerotic Women: Two Invisible Groups'', by Myra T. Johnson, may be the first paper explicitly devoted to asexuality in humans. She contrasts autoerotic women with asexual women: "The asexual woman () has no sexual desires at all () the autoerotic woman () recognizes such desires but prefers to satisfy them alone." Johnson's evidence is mostly letters to the editor found in women's magazines written by asexual/autoerotic women. She portrays them as invisible, "oppressed by a consensus that they are nonexistent," and left behind by both the sexual revolution and the feminist movement. Society either ignores or denies their existence or insists they must be ascetic for religious reasons, neurotic, or asexual for political reasons.〔"Asexual and Autoerotic Women: Two Invisible Groups" found in ed. Gochros, H.L.; J.S. Gochros (1977). ''The Sexually Oppressed. Associated Press.'' ISBN 978-0-8096-1915-3〕 Other feminists argue against the medicalization of asexuality. They reject the pathologization of women's asexuality through diagnoses such as female sexual arousal disorder and labelling asexual women as "frigid" or "sexually dysfunctional". Some asexual women feel uncomfortable with sex-positive feminism, feeling that it does not speak to their interests and regularly excludes their voices.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=An Asexual Map for Sex-Positive Feminism )〕 There are also feminist women, influenced by radical feminism and anarcha-feminism, who state that they choose to be asexual. Similar to political lesbianism, these women call for a "political asexuality". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Feminist views on sexual orientation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
