Good with expected deficiencies.

Well written, well read, it covers a lot of the ideological disputes and scientific research concerning female sexual desire and the role of consent in sexual ethics. As unfortunately expected in feminist writing, I get the feeling she has not really talked much with living breathing men about this stuff - they show up as a kind of theorized category. Ideology keeps her from seriously considering that differences between male and female sexuality might run deeper than the constructs of a patriarchal society. And, of course, discussions of love and (God forbid) enduring monogamous relationships are almost entirely absent.

fascinating book; terrible narration

This incredible, insightful book was almost ruined by a stilted, robotic narration that made it very hard going.

Too academic

I agree with the reviewer who mentioned that the author writes about men as if they are critical concept, not flesh an bone. I get the same impression. Thebook reads like an academic paper, writer by an academic for an academic, most probably women academics.
The performance is so dull.

sound logic around consent

I really love the concepts portrayed by this author. The whole world of consent has been very murky and confusing in this book shed some light on the topic.
