Synopsis

This volume examines controversial faultlines in contemporary feminism - pornography, the beauty myth, sadomascohism, prostitution, and the issue of rape. It focuses on how, among many feminists, the concepts of sex and sexism became fragmented and mutually exclusive. Exploring the dichotomy between sex and sexism as it has developed through five feminist debates, the text seeks to forge positions that bridge oppositions between unnecessary (and sometimes unwitting) "either/or" binaries. It attempts to incorporate both the need for sexual freedom and the depth of sexist subordination into feminist thought and politics. The text calls for a contructive feminist "third wave" based on recognizing greater complexities and on respecting feminist differences and commonalities.
