The sexual revolution has liberated us to enjoy a heady mixture of erotic freedom and personal autonomy. Right?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWrong, argues Louise Perry 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Polity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/29\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509549993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200","brand":"Louise Perry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42268622749877,"sku":"9781509549993","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_e8db2f93-174e-471e-9f39-07b0f7ae6a06.jpg?v=1657033353","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-case-against-the-sexual-revolution-9781509549993","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
