The Right to Sex: Feminism in the Twenty-First Century by Amia Srinivasan

reflective slow-paced

2.0

This is probably the worst book on feminism I ever read - super cherry picked border cases for argumentation and completely off reality. The author is more concerned reacting to previous debate than looking at what is actually going on. This theorethical approach has literally nothing to do with reality and I cant image anyone this would help.

2.0

I can barely imagine the extensive research behind this book. Together with great storytelling it had humongous potential, but unfortunately Perlroth is guilty of what so many other US writers are - complete lack of objectivity, orientalization of whomever does not come from US as well as constant collonial thinking. Only the US has good and bad people, other countries have one-two people representing them all. Every tiny little thing Perlroth does not know from US gets specific stress in the storytelling, no matter how stereotyping, biased and unimportant it is. She uses very different language speaking of other countries "they are meddling with our elections" whilst using very sterile language when the US "targets" other countries. Do US writers acknowledge that only because they have troubles understanding other languages/cultures it does not apply vice versa?! I could continue like that on and on and thats why its a generous 2/5 from me. Greetings from Europe.
