Forces of Gender Construction

How the woman construct forms in Second Life




In Second Life the woman as dreamed of in mass media becomes real.



In our culture we say a woman should be young, pretty, fit, thin, and have nice tits.



In SL a woman is young, pretty, fit, thin, and has firm tits.



But does the image just make a robot?

Politics, the body and the war for culture



The body is insert in to a political confict. The body as an object of male forces, as a hub in which cum and pleasure flow is hear turned on its head. This woman uses her bodies locus as a object of desire to make a political message



Protesters becoming Gitmo concentration camp inmates. Here a woman assumes the identity of a muslim male. The scale of powers the Sate applies against certain bodies is her assumed as a protest. The body can assume an identity in direct challenge of the idealogy that produces the identity. This identity challenges Power to show its methods to a public global discourse.



But radical images can construct radical violent male identities which inforce a extreme and limited set of identites. Here the God Rule rof Persia uses his identity to construct the male of the Islamic Republic as soldier. The soldiers identity in this image is constructed by the background of the Total God King. In ancient Persion/Iranian style of Asia the identity is small below the ruler.


And in this context the blog sex trade creates the places for thousands of women. Here sex workers merge spiritual identity in to there roles as sex usage objects.

The limits impossed by biology and culture



Biology and history produces other humans who fail to fill the should of our consumer society. This image can sell nothing but perhaps NGO funding.



Culture produces an wild sometimes chaotic set of techologies for constructing bodies. The Sadu use his penis as a centre of a spiritual project.



And in the end the fate of the biology boundries placed on us set limits to identity and can result in the termination of a self at any time.

The culture forces driving virtual gender identity



Our culture is a war in which gender is defined. Forces of commerce and male pornographic consumption have lead to female constructs that play in to may needs and insecurities. The woman has been formed in to the item of desire, she holds the joy of biological life.



In this war of women fighting each other to win in the channel they elect to contact men and the male domination of status and money. Some women elect to be trophy wives or in this case a woman who works as a stripper has altered herself to such a degree she no longer looks organic.



This process is driven by a mass media culture that on all levels presents images of what woman should be. Women and men magazines are both full of images of what the woman should be.



But the strange outcome is that the woman in the end owns the definition of sexuality. It is not that idealogy fully produces identity but that identity and idealogy are in a discourse. The emergence of identites like this one, full of sex, confidence and pure elegence are powerful images of what the woman COULD BE. This image defines a woman which is more full of power than any male obsession of problem.
