The Pornification of America: How Raunch Culture Is Ruining Our Society by Bernadette Barton
Did not finish book. Stopped at 16%.
I received a free ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
DNF at 16%
I'm so frustrated by this book. It's talking about something really important, but it does so in a way that oversimplifies everything and it also has an uncomfortable anti-sex work undertone. There's also this tacit assumption throughout what I've read so far that any decision a woman makes regarding, say, looking "sexy" (whatever is meant by that, as everyone is going to interpret it differently) is because society and men tell her to, whether consciously (and reluctantly) or unconsciously, but as I said before I think this is an oversimplification.
Again, this book is talking about something very important, I just don't think it's doing so very well.
