Summary:
"Ditching the stuffy hang-ups and benighted
sexual
traditionalism of the past is an unambiguously positive thing. The
sexual
revolution
has liberated us to enjoy a heady mixture of erotic freedom and personal autonomy. Right? Wrong, argues Louise Perry -- a writer, columnist and campaigner
against
male
sexual
violence -- in her provocative
new
book. Although it would be neither possible nor desirable to turn the clock back to a world of pre-60s
sexual
mores, she argues that the amoral libertinism and callous disenchantment of liberal feminism and our contemporary hypersexualised culture represent more loss than gain. The main winners from a world of rough
sex
, hook-up culture and ubiquitous porn - where anything goes and only consent matters - are a tiny minority of high-status men, not the women forced to accommodate the excesses of male lust. While dispensing sage advice to the generations paying the price for these excesses, she makes a passionate
case
for a
new
sexual
culture built around dignity, virtue and restraint. This counter-cultural polemic from one of the most exciting young voices in contemporary feminism should be read by all men and women uneasy about the mindless orthodoxies of our ultra-liberal era."--Publisher's description.
