À propos de cet audio
Pictures of half-naked girls and women can seem to litter almost every screen, billboard, and advertisement in America. Pole-dancing studios keep women fit. Men airdrop their dick pics to female passengers on planes and trains. To top it off, the former First Lady has modeled nude and the former "leader of the free world" has bragged about grabbing women "by the pussy."
This pornification of our society is what Bernadette Barton calls "raunch culture". Barton explores what raunch culture is, why it matters, and how it is ruining America. She exposes how internet porn drives trends in programming, advertising, and social media, and makes its way onto our phones, into our fashion choices, and into our sex lives. From twerking and breast implants, to fake nails and push-up bras, she explores just how much we encounter raunch culture on a daily basis - porn is the new normal.
Drawing on interviews, television shows, movies, and social media, Barton argues that raunch culture matters not because it is sexy, but because it is sexist. She shows how young women are encouraged to be sexy like porn stars, and to be grateful for getting cat-called or receiving unsolicited dick pics. As politicians vote to restrict women's access to birth control and abortion, The Pornification of America exposes the double standard we attach to women's sexuality.

Not uplifting
I thought this book was going to be helpful and uplifting about how to escape raunch culture without being harmful towards yourself or others that might have participated in it knowingly or unknowingly. It's true it wasn't judgemental, and I appreciated that. I also appreciated the distinction she made between raunch and sex positivity. I already know about raunch culture. We're surrounded by it. This book explained so much raunch culture in advertising and porn and repetitive about what she states as the ideal body that I ended up getting extremely depressed. I kept expecting each chapter to be different, but it was more of the same. I feel it kind of misses the mark in some ways, but it wasn't bad, and she certainly meant well. One thing that confused me is that she was negative about porn with double penetration in the vagina because it involves 2 penises touching (which seemed biphobic to me), but then she complained people are homophobic (so they aren't allowed to enjoy bi sex?). The last chapter starts out talking about The Women's March, which is an event that totally missed the mark on what women need for a safer, healthier world, and ignores the voices and concerns of women and especially mothers while calling them slurs, so I didn't finish the book. Maybe I will try again another time. I do appreciate how she talked about Trump since so many people minimize and ignore the awful things he says and does about women (including his own daughters).
