"Human sexuality involves erotic attractions, identity, and practices, and it is constructed by and through societal sexual scripts. Sexual scripts are guidelines for how we are supposed to feel and act as sexual persons. They are shaped by the communities and societies in which we participate and therefore are socially constructed (they emerge from communities and societies). Into this way social scripts can be said to reflect social norms and practices accepted in particular social contexts. They provide frameworks and guidelines for sexual feelings and behaviors. Sometimes there is embarrassment, shame, and confusion associated with these sexual scripts, and they easily become fraught with potential misunderstandings."
This stood out to me the most through reading this weeks passages. I found it such a coincidence that I just stated this as an opinion in my previous weekly response to not accepting transgenders and then this came back and just clarified my opinion. It's just crazy how we are being brainwashed from a baby to adulthood to keep this constructed system that was came up for us a society. Although, this isn't anywhere near surprising because sexuality isn't the only thing constructed. The treatment of races, the bible, and more are apart of this constructed system as well. In the end they are all made to highlight the white man. The big question is is the system to well develop to change it and if so how?!
