Contemporary feminists claim that the 'female body' has been resulted from constructions of social culture. They emphasize the 'differences' of the body. But the question is thus: how do we find the solidarity of 'sisterhood' from within differences? In this paper, I will argue from a phenomenological point that 'difference' and 'commonality' is not antagonistic. The critical clincher is that the natural body and the cultural body could co-exist. With the help of phenomenology of Merleau-Ponty, I will explain that the body is not a passive corporality determined by biological law and/or cultural condition, but an active site which encarnalizes its own situations. So, the inter-contextual relationship between the natural body and the cultural body will help solving the antipathy between 'the difference' and 'the commonality.'
