"How should we talk about sex? It is a thing we have and also a thing we do; a supposedly private act laden with public meaning; a personal preference shaped by outside forces; a place where pleasure and ethics can pull wildly apart. Since #MeToo many have fixed on consent as the key framework for achieving sexual justice. Yet consent is a blunt tool. To grasp sex in all its complexity - its deep ambivalences, its relationship to gender, class, race and power - we need to move beyond 'yes and no', wanted and unwanted. We need to interrogate the fraught relationships between discrimination and preference, pornography and freedom, rape and racial injustice, punishment and accountability, pleasure and power, capitalism and liberation. We need to rethink sex as a political phenomenon. Searching, trenchant and extraordinarily original, 'The Right to Sex' is a landmark examination of the polit

Never predictable in her take on issues, always witty and commonsensical, Erica Jong has always been our best hope for a much-n

Responsen bliver overvældende, og historierne viser et mønster af chikane, diskrimination og vold, som spænder fra seksuelle kommentarer og overgreb i det offentlige rum til uligeløn, sexisme på arbejdspladsen og kønsstereotyper i politik og medier. Bogen væver personlige historier sammen med analyse af strukturel ulighed og viser, hvo
A star-studded roster of iconic women write powerfully about what it means to be a feminist yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
