I thought this book was really good and put forward some really interesting ideas.
I felt like more could’ve been said about the police as partaking in domestic abuse - it felt like a bit too much of a gotcha moment when it’s a really important factor in the response of the carceral system in response to vulnerable people.

Een aantal geweldige essays over het recht op seks, belicht vanuit meerdere standpunten.
Dit boek is realistisch en benoemt onderdelen die ikzelf maar al te vaak vergeet, deels ook omdat ik er niet dagelijks mee te maken heb of onder lijd. Des te meer reden om me erin te verdiepen en er meer over te leren.
10/10 echt een aanrader!

Amazing and inspiring and important. The best explanation of intersectional feminism and its importance I've read yet. Discusses unintended consequences and the importance of ensuring that progress is felt by all women, but especially the least-powerful, least-protected women - women of color, immigrants, transgender women.
The writing slays, I wish I could be half as accurate and penetrating.

i struggled with how to rate this book, because giving it 2 stars implies i disagree with its content (and to some extent i do, but there's also a lot i agree with!). my main problem is that it is simultaneously very radical (basing the definition of sex off butler, claiming patriarchy has its roots in capitalism, and not really critiquing or expanding on these notions), but also didn't really have anything that was particularly surprising or 'new', aside from some interesting examples and statistics.
i was really expecting to be introduced to some arguments that i haven't already encountered as part of my degree/a very basic interest in feminist theory, and i didn't find that at all. this is a quick introduction to a number of feminist issues, but certainly not impartial (not that that's necessarily a problem), and there are better resources out there.
