According to Weeks, they elaborated three concepts -sex, gender, and sexuality -through a parallel set of binary oppositions, such as, male/female, masculine/feminine, and active/passive . Down the centuries, the male chauvinists depict the sex act as euphoric --initiated and orchestrated by male but muted versions of the women. For, men in any society are portrayed as the possessors of the clamorous urge for sex and women, hopelessly their captives.

It is a sort of history, written not by the conquerors but by the vanquished.
