The Right to Sex is incredibly thoughtfully written. Encouraging of it's readers to really sit with the content and reflect, I felt I would have made the perfect buddy read as there was so much to unpack within each essay. I adored the way that Srinivasan was so rarely definitive - encouraging broad thinking, and sitting with new idea's regardless of your initial impressions. The book is a perfect exploration of perspective and a timely reminder to look outside of your echo chamber.

Very thought provoking. My favorite essays in this book were “the conspiracy against men” and “the right to sex”

Super interesting, loads of Good points and takes I hadn' thought of yet. Didn't necessarily agree with everything 100% but still really respect the opinions and arguments put forward here. Really impressed with the level of nuance and intersectionality, all while maintaining to take a firm stand even on controversial viewpoints. I especially enjoyed the inclusion of an abolitionist debate and shining a light on internalised misogyny under the guise of sexual liberation or empowerment. Radical!

I picked up this book after reading the titular essay (after reading "The Aptness of Anger" in a class), and I'm so glad I did! I absolutely love how Srinivasan writes -- she's engaging and accessible, asks a lot of questions, and doesn't always end up with a concrete stance at the end. The book left me with a lot to think about and imagine on my own, and I'm looking forward to reading it again in a couple years when I might know a little more about the topics in it.
