Sexual Consent by Milena Popova

4.0

Quick read, lots of intro to theory and not too deep but super dry- not sure what I was/am looking for but I think this is a good starting point for cis men like myself who were taught what is now very outdated stuff. I appreciated the fairly easy to digest introduction to how definitions of sex in relationships and consent have evolved. Popova brings in pretty useful, if tragic examples which are well known from the metoo era as well as more vague “if a person does x then y” to illustrate the points and how they correlate to feminist theory, neoliberalism, structural oppression etc.

Overarchingly id recommend it to anyone, particularly to cis men but would like to see a more engaging version that is written less like a textbook... I don’t know if that’s even possible though...
