This book raises important questions about the politics and ethics of sex, questions that confront not only women but also men everywhere. What compels women to say 'yes'? What kind of sex does it take to consent? Why do the frameworks of 'consent,' so deeply ingrained in psychology, culture, and law, fail to work? How does sex relate to concepts such as race, class, disability, nationality, and caste? The author reexamines the political critique of sex in the 21st century, complementing her original ideas with a wealth of stories, examples, and facts. This book is for those interested in feminism and those seeking to understand complex issues of sex and gender.
