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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAlso available as an audiobook narrated by the author.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLouise Perry\u003c\/b\u003e is a writer, \u003ci\u003eNew Statesman\u003c\/i\u003e columnist and campaigner against male sexual violence.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Polity Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50533929320722,"sku":"9781509549986","price":62.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_c8f40ad3-9643-4a73-a3ec-a9ab82973ef6.jpg?v=1731415442","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-case-against-the-sexual-revolution-9781509549986","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
