Seduction, by contrast, is feminine, to B. feminists who want to redefine sexuality in 'feminine' terms are in fact operating with a masculine 'productivist' model of sexuality.Irigaray takes feminine sexual pleasure and orgasm as the model of sexuality, arguing that a 'feminine', nonphallicentric model of sexuality would be polymorphic, disseminatory, plural and multiple, rather than linear, phallic and ejaculatory

Critique of post modern sexuality with its focus on acomplishing desire right away, the material and release of the act as an end in itself, as opposed to ancient sexuality, especifically seduction, where sex is downplayed in a long series of rituals, gifts and events, and therefore is present everywhere, contrasting with post modern sexuality, where everything is sex and therefore nothing is sexual (O.Wilde). Ex:

Lembrar: Critique of mirror of production paralleled by Critique of mirror of desire, thereby oposing Freudo-Marxism dominating 60-70 french thought, an imposition of a eurocentric depth model to interpert a postmodern landscape where meaning is destroyed by the profusion of signification and the play of simulation, wherein only the surface remains(Though he did operate within those terms earlier in his carrer).

Lembrar-Marxism as ethnocentric and imperialistic, failure to account for other modes of exchange/production that don't fit into the current and previous European models (ex symbolic exchange), mirroring capitalist conceptions of production, it's centrality and a political economy rooted on utility. Limited petit bourgeois critique, one more step in the banalization of life towards the "good use" of the social. Solar
