Unscrewed
Unscrewed
In "Unscrewed," veteran feminist and sex educator Jaclyn Friedman delivers a powerful examination of sexual politics in America. With incisive analysis and compelling reportage, Friedman challenges readers to rethink societal norms around sex and power.
Key aspects of the book include:
• An investigation into the current state of sexual power dynamics
• Introduction of the concept of "fauxpowerment" - the illusion of sexual power without actual support
• Exploration of how media, religion, politics, and education impact our intimate lives
• Tools for readers to recognize and combat fauxpowerment
Friedman argues that women's anxiety and fear around sexuality are not personal failings, but symptoms of larger societal issues. She calls for a culture-wide reassessment of accepted norms and offers strategies for making real progress towards gender equality.
"Unscrewed" serves as both a wake-up call and a roadmap for those seeking to understand and change the landscape of sexual politics in America.
