The Right to Sex
The Right to Sex, by Amia Srinivasan, is a 2021 collection of non-fiction feminist essays.
Summary
Srinivasan states that The Right to Sex "is a book of feminist essays – on rape and racial oppression, pornography and the internet, sex work and carceralism, pleasure and power, sex and pedagogy, the ethics of sexual desire, and sex and the state." Topics covered include the effect of systemic prejudice and patriarchal expectations on sexual desire, the reinforcement of such standards by a lack of criticism and online pornography, and the consequences of poorly applied intersectionality and reliance on incarceration.
