À propos de cet audio
Ditching the stuffy hang-ups and benighted sexual traditionalism of the past is an unambiguously positive thing. The sexual revolution has liberated us to enjoy a heady mixture of erotic freedom and personal autonomy. Right?
Wrong, 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.
This counter-cultural polemic from one of the most exciting young voices in contemporary feminism should be listened to by all men and women uneasy about the mindless orthodoxies of our ultra-liberal era.

In Feminism Against Progress, Mary Harrington argues that the industrial-era faith in progress is turning against all but a tiny elite of women. Women's liberation was less the result of human moral progress than an effect of the material consequences of the Industrial Revolution.

Leading a cultural revolution driven by identity politics and so-called 'social justice', the new puritanism movement is best understood as a religion - one that makes grand claims to moral purity and tolerates no dissent. In The New Puritans, Andrew Doyle powerfully examines the underlying belief-systems of this ideology and how it has risen so rapidly to dominate all major political, cultural and corporate institutions. He reasons that, to move forward, we need to understand where these New Puritans came from and what they hope to achieve.

Education is in bad shape in America and beyond today. It’s obvious. Everyone perceives it. Something is going badly wrong in our schools. Our children aren’t learning as they should be. Their mastery of core academic curriculum like reading, writing, history, mathematics, science, and civics has declined to crisis levels and shows no signs of improvement. Meanwhile, they’re all learning to be activists, turning their backs on their nations, societies, and even their parents and religions.

Gender identity ideology is about more than Twitter storms and using the right pronouns. In just 10 years, laws, company policies, school and university curricula, sport, medical protocols, and the media have been reshaped to privilege self-declared gender identity over biological sex. People are being shamed and silenced for attempting to understand the consequences of redefining "man" and "woman". While compassion for transgender lives is well-intentioned, it is stifling much-needed inquiry into the significance of our bodies.

The Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS), based at the Tavistock and Portman Trust in North London, was set up initially to provide - for the most part - talking therapies to young people who were questioning their gender identity. But in the last decade GIDS has referred more than a thousand children, some as young as nine years old, for medication to block their puberty. In the same period, the number of referrals has exploded, increasing thirty-fold, while the profile of the patients has changed, from largely pre-pubescent boys to mostly adolescent girls.

The father of three sons, a journalist, and a Brookings Institution scholar, Richard V. Reeves has spent twenty-five years worrying about boys both at home and work. His new book, Of Boys and Men, tackles the complex and urgent crisis of boyhood and manhood. Reeves looks at the structural challenges that face boys and men and offers fresh and innovative solutions that turn the page on the corrosive narrative that plagues this issue. Of Boys and Men argues that helping the other half of society does not mean giving up on the ideal of gender equality.

For four generations men have been subjected to some pretty damning accusations. They're the oppressors of women. Their misogyny is the sole cause of the much-hated wage gap. They are guilty of the original sins of privilege and institutional sexism. And this says nothing about the rank mockery and, often times, outright hatred men receive in the media, government, and our schools. But perhaps the most damning accusation of them all is that men are no longer needed. That they are now somehow obsolete.

In the 1960s, Mao launched China’s Cultural Revolution. Cities grew overcrowded. Technocrats demanded progress from above. Anyone opposed was sent to be “re-educated.” China’s revolution was bloody, fast, and a failure, but what if America started a revolution at the same time, based on the same bad ideas, and it’s just been slower, calmer, and more effective?

For all of the West's failings—terrible food, cold weather and questionable politicians with funny hair to name a few—it has its upsides. Konstantin would know. Growing up in the Soviet Union, he experienced first-hand the horrors of a socialist paradise gone wrong, having lived in extreme poverty with little access to even the most basic of necessities. It wasn't until he moved to the UK that Kisin found himself thriving in an open and tolerant society, receiving countless opportunities he would never have had otherwise.

In virtually every way that can be measured, Gen Z’s mental health is worse than that of previous generations. Youth suicide rates are climbing, antidepressant prescriptions for children are common, and the proliferation of mental health diagnoses has not helped the staggering number of kids who are lonely, lost, sad and fearful of growing up. What’s gone wrong with America’s youth? In Bad Therapy, bestselling investigative journalist Abigail Shrier argues that the problem isn’t the kids—it’s the mental health experts.

Material Girls is a timely and trenchant critique of the influential theory that we all have an inner feeling known as a gender identity, and that this feeling is more socially significant than our biological sex. Professor Kathleen Stock surveys the philosophical ideas that led to this point, and closely interrogates each one, from De Beauvoir's statement that, 'One is not born, but rather becomes a woman' (an assertion she contends has been misinterpreted and repurposed), to Judith Butler's claim that language creates biological reality, rather than describing it.

Crucifixion, the Romans believed, was the worst fate imaginable, a punishment reserved for slaves. How astonishing it was, then, that people should have come to believe that one particular victim of crucifixion - an obscure provincial by the name of Jesus - was to be worshipped as a god. Dominion explores the implications of this shocking conviction as they have reverberated throughout history.

Teenage girls are taking courses of testosterone and disfiguring their bodies. Parents are undermined; experts are over-relied upon; dissenters in science and medicine are intimidated; free speech truckles under renewed attack; socialized medicine bears hidden consequences; and an intersectional era has arisen in which the desire to escape a dominant identity encourages individuals to take cover in victim groups. Every person who has ever had a skeptical thought about the sudden rush toward a non-binary future but been afraid to express it - this book is for you.

The left is waging an all-out battle on the American family, particularly the youngest members. If they can make our children miserable, lead them to question every building block of society, and rebuild their entire concept of reality, then the left and their woke indoctrinators will consider that a victory. But we can't let them win. As concerned parents and American citizens, we have to understand what's truly going on before we can do something about it. Stolen Youth provides an urgent deep dive into issues surrounding the current woke indoctrination happening.

Does your local museum employ too many White women? It’s racist, too. After the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020, prestigious American institutions, from the medical profession to the fine arts, pleaded guilty to “systemic racism”.

Thorough analysis of past and present culture
I listened to the author on several podcasts and decided to find this book. This book approaches the issues of modern hookup culture from a rational feminist perspective, and goes into history of popular culture spanning the last century. There are some references to the work of David Buss, who is another author worth reading for those who find evolutionary psychology interesting.
Too often the books in this area can be overly pessimistic but nonetheless cathartic (Douglas Murray as an example), so it was pleasantly surprising to hear the objective and optimistic views expressed by the author. Towards the end of the book are several anecdotes followed by the author's genuine actionable solutions.
I look forward to reading more from Louise Perry. Her points were well articulated, and the structure of the book was clear.

I listened to this book over 2 days and found it smooth to follow, exceptionally well narrated by the author, and a compelling listen. I was very moved by many of the poignant anecdotal examples she collected and her analysis was always fair and thorough. I felt I learned a lot from the book and will follow this author closely.

Wow, everyone 13 and older needs to read this review
We’ve been conned. Sold a lie. It’s so obvious but rich men have convinced us that exploiting women through sex work and sex culture, is better women. It not. It’s much much worse for women and a lot of us men need to learn discipline and exercise control.

I guess I am a post liberal feminist :)
As a millennial, I've grown up amidst the wave of "sexual empowerment," finding a sense of liberation from the patriarchal norms ingrained in my Middle Eastern upbringing. While I didn't personally experience many of the negative effects outlined in this book, I witnessed friends struggle to find true empowerment, often realizing that it was the men who were reaping the benefits. It wasn't until I encountered the notion of "polygamy" as a progressive idea that I began to question the true nature of this so-called liberation, seeing parallels with the patriarchal structures of my cultural background.
Delving deeper into the tenets of liberal feminism today, I couldn't ignore the glaring contradictions that seemed to disregard the best interests of women. Despite my aversion to conservative ideals, I found myself grappling with the limitations of liberal feminism. Reading this book was a pivotal moment for me, helping me define my own brand of feminism—one that acknowledges the realities of biology and seeks solutions to level the playing field for women. Henceforth, I proudly identify as a "post-liberal" feminist.
The only aspect of the book that left me wanting more was the exploration of the biological underpinnings behind many women's inclination towards masochistic BDSM. While the author does acknowledge the role of porn in shaping these desires, I felt that the biological aspect was somewhat overlooked. It's hinted at, but not thoroughly addressed.
If I were to offer my honest rating of this book, it would have been a solid 4 out of 5. However, in light of the all-too-common occurrence of biased 1 out of 5 reviews driven more by entrenched ideology than the actual content of the book, I've opted to give it a perfect 5 out of 5.

I deeply agree with the core sentiment that sexual liberation has not freed all of us it has freed some of us and selectively and the unforeseen price is a world that while great for women in many ways is also the kind of world that has played into the wants and desires of men in ways that harm us deeply however I did not agree with most of the sun theses used to support this overarching argument.
Additionally the book comes across as judgey, preachy and and more proscriptive than prescriptive. I strongly recommend Rethinking Sex: A Provocation by Christine Emba which has a similar core thesis but is delivered in a much more effective and engaging way.
