Took me way to long to finish it. I enjoyed the first half of the book, but then found myself starting and finishing as I never gravitated to finish this. Happy I did though! It was a very informative and interesting read. Definitely wish I has read it back when I was writing my dissertation, it would be really good as a reference!

The Right to Sex is incredibly thoughtfully written. Encouraging of it's readers to really sit with the content and reflect, I felt I would have made the perfect buddy read as there was so much to unpack within each essay. I adored the way that Srinivasan was so rarely definitive - encouraging broad thinking, and sitting with new idea's regardless of your initial impressions. The book is a perfect exploration of perspective and a timely reminder to look outside of your echo chamber.

Super interesting, loads of Good points and takes I hadn' thought of yet. Didn't necessarily agree with everything 100% but still really respect the opinions and arguments put forward here. Really impressed with the level of nuance and intersectionality, all while maintaining to take a firm stand even on controversial viewpoints. I especially enjoyed the inclusion of an abolitionist debate and shining a light on internalised misogyny under the guise of sexual liberation or empowerment. Radical!
