If pandemic exhaustion, galloping inflation, and talk of World War III haven't yet gotten you down, Rethinking Sex: A Provocation.
Based upon a 2017 #MeToo piece published in the Washington Post., where Emba is a columnist, Rethinking Sex.
Several recent studies cited by the author prove the nauseating point: More and more women consent to sex only to endure unexpected violence after saying yes.
Author Emba also transgresses by suggesting that right and wrong might apply even in the time of Tinder; in the words of another chapter title, "Some Desires are Worse than Others." Not surprisingly, the message has received pushback in the New York Times, and elsewhere, for menacing the holy bovine of "Sex positivity"-as if "Sex positivity" amounts to anything more than putting up with your guy watching porn and trying gross things out on you while you pretend not to care.
Today, by contrast, with sex "Always on the table," as the author observes, the joys of motherhood and fatherhood and lifelong companionship have become luxury goods that few young adults seem to know how to buy; amazingly, in this book that is all about sex, hardly anyone mentions marriage or children.
Though Rethinking Sex scants such assets, the conversation it opens still hath need of them.
Kudos to its author for a bold and potentially game-changing break with secular orthodoxy about sex.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
