Abstract
This paper will criticize the public/private dichotomy. Firstly, it is theoretically impossible to separate the public from the private. Goods can be categorized as private and at the same time, public. Sexuality can be categorized as public when we see it as a necessary condition for reproduction. Secondly, the public/private dichotomy is discriminative, as some feminists have been insisting. Now, a social choice is needed that will decide whether this dichotomy has to be maintained. If it is maintained, what sphere should it belong to : public or private ?
