Barnes & Noble The Right to Sex- Feminism in the Twenty-First Century by Amia Srinivasan

From Macy's

Laser-cut writing and a stunning intellect. If only every writer made this much beautiful sense." -Lisa Taddeo, author of Three Women"Amia Srinivasan is an unparalleled and extraordinary writer-no one X-rays an argument, a desire, a contradiction, a defense mechanism quite like her. In stripping the new politics of sex and power down to its fundamental and sometimes clashing principles, The Right to Sex is a bracing revivification of a crucial lineage in feminist writing- Srinivasan is daring, compassionate, and in relentless search of a new frame." - Jia Tolentino, author of Trick Mirror- Reflections on Self Delusion Thrilling, sharp, and deeply humane, the philosopher Amia Srinivasan's The Right to Sex- Feminism in the Twenty-First Century upends the way we discuss-or avoid discussing-the problems and politics of sex. How should we think 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. How should we talk about sex. Since #Me-too, many have fixed on consent as the key framework for achieving sexual justice. Yet consent is a blunt tool.
