"Men, after all, hate women so that they don’t have to hate themselves."

This is something that I would have benefited so much from if I had read it in college, but as it stands, all the topics mentioned were very feminism 101, which is absolutely fine and has its demographics. Again, if this was at my disposal as an 18- or 19-year-old, I think it would have changed my life. Katherine Angel has some great points about consent, sex, and how women are viewed after taking place (or not taking place) in sexual intercourse, and I am very glad she added an intersectional voice because too often can conversations like this forget about women of color. Unfortunately, all the lessons that were to be learned were already things I knew, but it was fun to listen to the audiobook and go, "I know that's right," every so often. I would implore this book to any young women coming into their sexuality or any older women who were taught that sex is only something to please their partner or anyone who struggles to truly understand sexual politics in the age of consent. And men. Please if you're a man, read this.

wow, that was so amazing. i feel like this should be required reading for every hetero man in high school sex ed. it really goes deep into women’s sexuality in a nuanced and intersectional way. would love to read more from this author.

Quite academic, but fascinating account of the history of ideas about sexuality, along with the author's necessarily limited arguments about finding a healthier way of thinking about key issues related to sexuality and gender.

“Once a woman is thought to say yes to something, she can say no to nothing.”

yes ma’am. short but packs a big punch!

i really enjoyed this! i think angel perhaps overstates her negative portrayal of consent education, but i think her perspective does bring some nuance to the discussion around sex education and consent at large. i really admire and agree with her general thesis - that consent is the bare minimum expectation of sex, and we should be creating a culture that has room for sexual uncertainty and exploration
