Laser-cut writing and a stunning intellect. If only every writer made this much beautiful sense."" -Lisa Taddeo, author of Three Women""Amia Srinivasan is an unparalleled and extraordinary writer-no one X-rays an argument, a desire, a contradiction, a defense mechanism quite like her. In stripping the new politics of sex and power down to its fundamental and sometimes clashing principles, The Right to Sex is a bracing revivification of a crucial lineage in feminist writing- Srinivasan is daring, compassionate, and in relentless search of a new frame."" - Jia Tolentino, author of Trick Mirror- Reflections on Self Delusion Thrilling, sharp, and deeply humane, the philosopher Amia Srinivasan's The Right to Sex- Feminism in the Twenty-First Century upends the way we discuss-or avoid discussing-the problems and politics of sex.

How should we talk about sex. Since #Me-too, many have fixed on consent as the key framework for achieving sexual justice. Yet consent is a blunt tool.
