Yes Means Yes!: Visions of Female Sexual Power and A World Without Rape

збірка намагається охопити максимально широкий спектр проблем, пов'язаних із активною згодою – і часом здається, що it tries too hard, що, втім, не рятує її від повторів. але повторюються зазвичай важливі речі, тому це навіть корисно.
із таких важливих повторів:
Feminists insist that men are not animals. Instead, men are rational  human  beings  fully  capable  of  listening  to  their  partners  and understanding  that  sex  isn’t  about  pushing  someone  to  do  something  they  don’t  want  to  do.
і
Men generally are constructed as the pursuers of sex, and taught that their proper pursuit will be rewarded. What straight men really need to learn is that women are humans, too, who get to make their own decisions about whether and with whom to have sex; and that nobody owes anyone sex.
(очевидні ж речі, правда?)

Brief notes: A book of it’s time. Some essays still ring very true; some feel dated. By the end I felt a repetitiveness that I think can happen with collected essays. It was hard to finish out the book with fidelity, and I admit I started skimming the last handful of essays.
