Sexual Studies, Female Sexuality, Women's Studies
This work investigates how societal norms and cultural expectations construct the framework through which female sexuality is experienced and performed. Judith Long Laws, a sociologist specializing in gender dynamics, utilizes a social constructionist framework to challenge biological essentialism. She argues that sexual behavior is not an innate drive but a learned script dictated by historical, social, and institutional power structures.
