Together with her mother, she stood in front of the camera in a program on the KRO's De wandeling , on the subject of “Women and Sexuality” (Dutch: vrouwen en seksualiteit ); She has published several publications on this subject.
Hilkens campaigns against tendencies that she describes as pornoficatie (Dutch: pornoficatie ) of coexistence. By this, she understands the intensification of human communication and human coexistence solely from the point of view of a certain understanding of sexual attraction. According to Hilkens, the view of sexuality in the most influential pornography is linked to the degradation of women to a mere object of pleasure. She also spoke out against violent pornography . Instead, according to Hilkens, in depictions of sex, for example in porn, women should be shown more strongly as people with feelings and a will, and sex as an interaction between two equal people, the identities of men and women should play a role.
Myrthe Hilkens ran for the social democratic PvdA for the Dutch parliament in 2010 . From April 12 to August 2, 2011 she was a temporary member of the Second Chamber of the States General . From January 2012 to August 2013 she was again a member of the Second Chamber.
