The Right to Sex
Feminism in the Twenty-first Century
Book • 2019
In this collection of essays, Amia Srinivasan addresses various aspects of sex and politics, including the politics of desirability, sexual racism, and the limitations of consent as a moral framework.
The book critiques mainstream feminist discourse for its reticence to politicize desire and examines issues like student-teacher relationships, the incel movement, and the impact of colonialism and white supremacy on standards of attractiveness.
Srinivasan's essays are characterized by their complexity and their insistence on dwelling in the discomfort and ambivalence of these politically charged topics.
