This is a dissertation disguised as a trade paperback — not necessarily a bad thing, but not what I was expecting. I much preferred the reading experience of Tomorrow Sex Will Be Good Again. The structure of some of these essays and arguments is grating at times, though I do appreciate how comprehensive and nuanced her takes are.

This book makes me miss the insightful lectures when I was majoring in gender studies. And I don’t miss college, but the discussions within the classroom were certainly blooming and this would have made for an interesting table read. This is a book that is well written and articulate, the author did amazing in breaking down each topic, making it digestible for any reader. I appreciated their chapter focusing on workplace harassment and the inappropriateness between professor and student dynamics. It encapsulates it perfectly as to how it can be problematic regardless if it involves two consenting adults.

i loved this essay collection. thought provoking and absolutely something i'm going to have to go in for a second, slower, more intentional read (bummed i borrowed this from the library instead of buying it so i couldn't take notes or highlight). 'on not sleeping with your students', 'sex, carceralism, capitalism' and 'the right to sex' were the standout essays for me.

virkelig informativ omkring feminisme og de dilemmaer feminismen står overfor. øjenåbner for mange sider at “historien” som man glemmer som en hvid priviligeret kvinde. meget spændende og god til at forklare.

A parte dare la miglior definizione del movimento “me too” che io abbia mai letto, ho apprezzato moltissimo l’analisi non convenzionale che si porta avanti nei 6 saggi che compongono questo libro.
Ogni saggio scava a fondo nella filosofia femminista e nel suo approccio al sesso, mettendone in luce le problematiche, i limiti e anche le critiche. Ma non risulta mai sterile nella critica, poiché supportata da dati, informazioni ed esperienze, l’autrice si focalizza sull’importanza dell’intersezionalità come approccio alla rivoluzione femminista. Mi è piaciuto soprattutto come l’autrice ponga domande scomode su temi polarizzanti: è importante sapere quanto grigio in realtà c’è nelle risposte.

Ultima chicca: amo quando i saggi hanno una bibliografia che è pari alle pagine scritte
