In "The Right to Sex," philosopher Amia Srinivasan examines the thorny intersections of gender, power, and sexuality. From campus consent policies to the incel movement, she untangles the complex web of personal desires, social norms, and systemic inequities that shape intimate life. With clear-eyed analysis and vivid storytelling, Srinivasan challenges us to rethink our most fundamental assumptions about sex, challenging simple answers in favor of nuanced, ethically grounded perspectives.
