[edit]

I removed the following text from the body of the article as it lacks references, and is more of a (seemingly original) critique than than explanation of her work.

She sees the Oedipal complex as the obvious explanation for gender differences. Genes and hormones don't explain anything. Kinship is a form of integration based on gift exchange with the exchange of women being the most symbolic. In return for the women the man gives her the phallus. The daughter in Rubin’s account also desires the mother, but her desire ends when she realizes she does not possess the phallus. Similarly the son’s fear of castration by the father for giving his mother his phallus breaks the sexual tie with the mother. The incest taboo, as Rubin calls it, is also an insurance that integration occurs between families.

I put this paragraph back in, with a few edits, and referenced it - "Traffic in Women..." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.57.91.64 (talk • contribs)

I don't feel this is a cogent summary of this work. Please read Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. I replaced it with an overview that is more in keeping with scholarly accounts of the essay. ntennis 00:47, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi all--I've written a more detailed breakdown article of The Traffic in Women here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Traffic_in_Women:_Notes_on_the_Political_Economy_of_Sex. What would be a good way to integrate it and link it into this page? Does doing a smaller summary here that links out to the bigger page sound good? Also, any feedback on the bigger breakdown article I wrote is appreciated. Best, Ngoodell42 (talk) 17:52, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There must be an image somewhere of Gayle that we can dig up? Kingturtle (talk) 21:05, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

french translation added -- because it could be useful for bi-lingual reader

[edit]

I added a link to :

Rationale :

  • It could be useful to people wanting a quick access to the text, capable of reading french (like me !)
  • There is no full text avalaible online for the english original version, AFAIK
  • The existence of the translation can be an indication of the notability/importance in the field of study of this text (translated and edited by a french university) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.239.164.161 (talk) 11:11, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

where is she now?

on Birth info

[edit]

Only the year of the birth(1949) is written in this (and all other languages) article. Are there any reason? (or does nobody know Rubin's birthday?) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.166.129.100 (talk) 13:06, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Radical feminism?

[edit]

Does she really accommodate this label? I think her work is more related to liberal, postmodern or queer feminism than to traditional radical feminism.

Western cultures

[edit]

"The most important is sex negativity, in which Western cultures consider sex to be a dangerous, destructive force" Why are "Western" (what does that mean, where is the delineation?) cultures highlighted here? Viewing sexual activity/proclivities as "dangerous" (not categorically but in various specifics) seems to a common theme across all human cultures. I cannot think of an extant example of human culture that doesn't have strict and explicit mores, rituals and customs about sexual activity. This article appears to suffer from either original research, a prescriptive bias, or both. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.228.188.122 (talk) 18:32, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
