👉 The sexual project, as theorized by feminist scholars, particularly Judith Butler, refers to the ways in which society constructs and regulates sexual behavior and desires, often through norms and power dynamics. It involves the ways in which individuals are encouraged or pressured to conform to specific sexual scripts and roles, which can be influenced by gender, race, class, and other social categories. This project shapes how people understand their sexuality, their relationships, and their bodies, often reinforcing patriarchal structures that dictate who has sexual agency and who is marginalized or oppressed. It highlights the intersection of sexuality with broader social issues, emphasizing the need to critically examine and challenge these constructed norms.
