The provided text from "Philosophics" presents a polemic that uses the biological behaviour of male flatworms to metaphorically analyse human gender dynamics and power structures. The article, titled "Becoming a Woman with Penetration Politics," argues that human society, despite its advancements, still reflects a fundamental "penetration politics" akin to the flatworms' aggressive mating ritual, where penetration symbolises conquest and the imposition of reproductive burden. It directly links this concept to feminist critiques of patriarchy, suggesting that the male role is intrinsically tied to a form of subjugation through penetration. Ultimately, the text posits that humanity is hypocritical in its perceived civility, masking an underlying reality of power struggles defined by this "penetration politics."https://philosophics.blog/2025/08/21/becoming-a-woman-with-penetration-politics/
