Governance of sexuality shifted in late 19th century from governing acts using criminal law style rules (secular or religious) to seeing sexuality as a key dimension of personal identity, a/the truth of the modern self.

Choose a theme from the list below and find song lyrics that also use this theme. Love (romantic, filial, or platonic) Alienation/Otherness: (gender, sexuality, race, disability, economic) The American Dream/American Nightmare The Quest for Identity/Coming of Age Conformity/Rebellion Name the song title and artist. Copy and paste the song lyrics into your post.

Then, explain how and why the theme is represented by this song. Next, respond to any two of the following questions: Does the song represent the theme in a positive or negative way (or an interesting combination of both)? Why? How is the theme idealized or stereotyped (justifiably or not) in contemporary society? How does the song's depiction of the theme resonate with your own life? How the theme is represented in other forms of media? Do you see any patterns emerging?

2. Critics of the above theory demand: show me the physiological evidence. Evolutionary theory is rooted in biology hence there must be physical evidence to substantiate a claim. Feminist evolutionary psychologists say: It's not men who want sleep around, in fact, it is women who are hard-wired to want to take on as many mates as possible. This is why society has spent so much energy trying to regulate female sexuality. What is the evidence? One: only maternity is 100%. Everyone knows for certain the identity of their mother, yet before the recent advent of testing, paternity was never 100%. In a communal living situation, all the men in the tribe would have to provide for a child because the possibility could be that child was their own. Two: women are multi-orgasmic, while men only have one orgasm and then their brain releases a chemical which causes them to fall asleep. As many know, women become active post-coitus. They want to talk and cuddle, while men want to nap. The suggestion here is that while men are sleeping it off on the bear skin rug, the women go to the next tent and have sex again with someone else. Finally, women have an organ designed specifically for sexual pleasure: the clitoris. Men do not have such an organ. The existence of the clitoris is a strong physiological indicator that supports the above assertion. How can you explain the existence of the clitoris?
