Very thought provoking. My favorite essays in this book were “the conspiracy against men” and “the right to sex”

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!

Solid book for those interested in some foundational feminist history with musings on the current era. The most interesting convos that this started for me were around the themes of desire, socialization, and politics. I also enjoyed the Coda section of her responses to critiques of one of the (previously published) essays- her engagement with and replies to critiques were more novel than some of the other points around feminism and sexuality, which will be familiar to anyone who is part of or following conversations in the left around feminism, consent, sex work, and carceral feminism/state/capitalism/etc. Might be more of a shift/new info for someone who identifies as ‘liberal’ and less so for a ‘leftist.’ I think a deeper dive into the ethics or, in lieu of more examination, clearer propositions and ideas (to avoid the term ‘conclusions’) may have bumped the rating up for me.
