I've never been so captivated by sociology before! 
It's full of studies and logical conclusions that counter almost every modern message we hear. Perry exposes them as simplistic and harmful - these ideas that many people don't even think to question. I come away wanting to discuss it in detail with all of my friends.
I don't agree on everything, and it's certainly not light reading, but I'm so glad it was recommended to me.

5.0

I felt so seen by this book. I have long felt dissatisfied and at times, harmed by the current sexual culture that we live in. This book was very validating to many of those experiences. Although I didn’t agree with all of the author’s perspectives, I feel she does a great job of giving voice to alternative feminist perspectives that currently do not receive as much consideration. I think this book could help empower women to put a name to and better identify some of the unfair treatment occurring in our modern and complex society.
