Reclaiming Female Eroticism as an Act of Resistance

The Erotic as an Act of Resistance

Delish Empowerment is centered on reclaiming the body as a site of self-knowledge and power, a direct challenge to the patriarchy.

This article will focus on the philosophy of Audre Lorde’s Sister Outsider, which presents female eroticism as a profound and "dangerous" tool for dismantling oppression. Lorde teaches us that the erotic is not merely sex, but a spiritual life-force—a deep, authentic appreciation for satisfaction and joy that fuels all aspects of life, from creativity to social justice.
