Welcome to Litsy!

Although dated now, I found this book fascinating. Does becoming an empowered woman mean basically being...a man? And what does that even mean? Is there a point to where sex positivity simply turns into a woman using her body as a kind of commerce and notching up her bedpost? I don't know, but the perspective is food for thought.

A really interesting look into our culture of sexual objectification of women. The part about SF lesbian culture was particularly interesting because it‘s not a perspective I‘ve read before. #nonfiction #feminism

"...just because we are post doesn't automatically mean we are feminists. There is a widespread assumption that simply because my generation of women has the good fortune to live in a world touched by the feminist movement, that means everything we do is radically imbued with its agenda."

Though I'm a decade late reading this, I bought it 2 mins after finishing #therulesdonotapply! Enjoying so far, tho it's probably less timely in 2017 than 2005

This book does not have any scientific background, nevertheless many of the ideas exposed by the author have something in common with the concept of "post-feminist sensibility" brought by Gill in Gender and the Media. Overall, Levy's book is an interesting read.
