The sexual revolution has liberated us to enjoy a heady mixture of erotic freedom and personal autonomy. Right?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWrong, argues Louise Perry in her provocative new book. Although it would be neither possible nor desirable to turn the clock back to a world of pre-60s sexual mores, she argues that the amoral libertinism and callous disenchantment of liberal feminism and our contemporary hypersexualised culture represent more loss than gain. The main winners from a world of rough sex, hook-up culture and ubiquitous porn – where anything goes and only consent matters – are a tiny minority of high-status men, not the women forced to accommodate the excesses of male lust. While dispensing sage advice to the generations paying the price for these excesses, she makes a passionate case for a new sexual culture built around dignity, virtue and restraint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis counter-cultural polemic from one of the most exciting young voices in contemporary feminism should be read by all men and women uneasy about the mindless orthodoxies of our ultra-liberal era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso available as an audiobook narrated by the author.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor: Louise Perry\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; government\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ch5\u003ePublished on 3 Jun 2022 by Polity Press.\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Louise Perry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57322231038330,"sku":"9781509549993","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/4125\/files\/9781509549993.jpg?v=1790686554","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-case-against-the-sexual-revolution-9781509549993","provider":"Belfast Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
