Summary/Abstract: The authors are aiming to supstitute an non-anthropological paradigm, universal for all the people from this side of the sex difference, but not determinated by it. Everything in one's life is related to the sexual difference, given that human-in-person is not different from the subject. The theme of liberalization is too limited if the anthropological, that is, the philosophical, All-sexual, All-male paradigm is not re-examined. Insted to project the sexual difference on the human paradigm, a "difference" or a pre-sexual dualism is posited that belongs to all the human beings and that will enable a certain use or pragmatics of the sexual representations. By that means, the utopean paradigm allows the thinking about the transformation of the sexual difference.
