Reproductive Politics

Empapado de sinceridad y humor, este audiolibro emplea herramientas feministas para analizar la forma en la que la sociedad moldea, censura y limita el deseo y el placer de las mujeres. María del Mar narra cómo las mujeres están luchando por reivindicar el derecho al placer y por demostrar que el sexo, la imagen corporal y la alimentación son arenas de disputa política. La autora habla en este libro de nudes y dick pics, de masturbación y de pornografía, narra la violencia y describe desórdenes alimenticios.

Por cada mujer que acude al médico por algún problema relacionado con su ciclo menstrual, ¿cuántas se quedan en casa retorciéndose de dolor o automedicándose antiinflamatorios? La verdadera magnitud es imposible de determinar; en pocos asuntos clínicos existe un desequilibrio tan acentuado entre la cantidad de gente que sufre y lo marginal que resulta para la investigación médica y científica. Más de1800 millones de mujeres tienen ahora mismo edad de menstruar. Si los hombres menstruaran, como escribía Gloria Steinem en 1978, "la menstruación se convertiría en una realidad masculina envidiable y digna de alarde. Los hombres se jactarían de lo largo y copiosos que serían sus periodos".

Antworten liefern neben dem normalo Cis-Mann auch Experten: vom Orgasmus-Coach bis zum Priester, vom Trans-Mann bis zum Urologen.

In 1964, American judge Potter Stewart famously said, ‘I can’t define pornography, but I know it when I see it.’ Over 50 years later, the reverberations of these words are still being felt across the world. Be it proposed porn bans, religious morality or women’s rights, the assumption is that porn has a single, knowable definition. But one man’s art is another woman’s erotica is another person’s sex tape.

On June 24, 2022, the US Supreme Court overturned the Roe v. Wade decision, asserting that the Constitution did not confer the right to abortion. This ruling, in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health case, was the culmination of a half-century of pro-life activism promoting the idea that fetuses are people and therefore entitled to the rights and protections that the Constitution guarantees. But it was also the product of a much longer history of archaic ideas about the relationship between pregnant people and the fetuses they carry.

Cohen and sociologist Carole Joffe interview 24 people across all different fields in abortion and in different state political environments to uncover how the abortion providing community and its allies prepared for, and then responded to this momentous event.
