Right To Sex by Amia Srinivasan
Not everything is related to the physical side of sex!
The Right To Sex is how we view sex through the prism of politics & ethics. Srinivasan crafts a startlingly original discourse that ranges widely across issues of consent, racism, misogyny and freedom to identify the key areas of conflict and controversy in the twenty-first century. Sex has always been a taboo subject. Some years ago, this was surrounding the watershed hours where you can only show nudity after a certain time on television or the way in which you would address a sexual topic in public. In recent times, we face struggles of consent, triggering the #metoo movement or how we are treated in terms of pay & equal rights. There are other crises appearing within the news whether it's racial, victimising, abuse or punishment & accountability. This book serves as a phenomenon to a sexual revolution, politically.
