Let's read a book together. Let's discuss feminism of the 21st century.The Right to Sex is a 2021 collection of non-fiction feminist essays by Amia Srinivasan.
The author states that The Right to Sex "is a book of feminist essays – on rape and racial oppression, pornography and the internet, sex work and carceralism, pleasure and power, sex and pedagogy, the ethics of sexual desire, and sex and the state."
Topics covered include the effect of systemic prejudice and patriarchal expectations on sexual desire, the reinforcement of such standards by a lack of criticism and online pornography, and the consequences of poorly applied intersectionality and reliance on incarceration.
There are 6 essays in the book. Every Sunday we will discuss one essay. Ideally, it would be nice if everyone who comes to the readings would be prepared and read the essay in advance. However, from long reading groups experience we know it is not always happening. We understand, people can be buisy, overworked, etc. but come anyway. The scanned copy of the text will be published on the event wall.
Also, you are welcome to bring some snacks, leftovers or some nice deserts. Whatever comes to your mind. Mimosas will be provided for free:)
