Yes Means Yes
Yes Means Yes: Visions of Female Sexual Power and A World Without Rape | Jessica Valenti, Jaclyn Friedman
In this groundbreaking new look at rape edited by writer and activist Jaclyn Freidman and "Full Frontal Feminism" and "HeOCOs A Stud, SheOCOs A Slut" author Jessica Valenti, the way we view rape in our culture is finally dismantled and replaced with a genuine understanding and respect for female sexual pleasure. Feminist, political, and activist writers alike will present their ideas for a paradigm shift from the ?No Means NoOCO model?an approach that while necessary for where we were in 1974, needs an overhaul today. "Yes Means Yes" will bring to the table a dazzling variety of perspectives and experiences focused on the theory that educating all people to value female sexuality and pleasure leads to viewing women differently, and ending rape. "Yes Means Yes" aims to have radical and far-reaching effects: from teaching men to treat women as collaborators and not conquests, encouraging men and women that women can enjoy sex instead of being shamed for it, and ultimately, that our children can inherit a world where rape is rare and swiftly punished. With commentary on public sex education, pornography, mass media, "Yes Means Yes" is a powerful and revolutionary anthology."

A lot of good essays in this book. Ones that stood out: performance model of sex, beyond yes or no, when pregnancy is outlawed only outlaws will be pregnant, how do you fuck a fat woman, the fantasy of female non consent: why the female submissive scares us and why she shouldn‘t, reclaiming touch, an immodest proposal, why nice guys finish last.

Just finished this book last night! I loved it! It features a great diversity of authors. It taught me a lot. It has left a lasting impact on me, especially in thinking about the ways society treats rape and women in general. I hope to read other books by the contributors.

I met the amazing Jaclyn Friedman last night and got her to sign my book! Her workshop on Rewriting Your Scripts was incredible. It‘s no wonder she‘s one of the biggest names in 3rd wave feminism. #feminism
