A sexual double standard between men and women still exists, and society continues to punish bad girls and reward good ones. Until we eliminate good-girl privilege and bad-girl stigma, women will not be fully free to embrace their sexuality. In Slut-Shaming, Whorephobia, and the Unfinished Sexual Revolution, Meredith Ralston looks at the common denominators between the #MeToo movement, the myths of rape culture, and the pleasure gap between men and women to reveal the ways that sexually liberated women threaten the patriarchy. Weaving in history, pop culture, philosophy, interviews with sex workers, and personal anecdotes, Ralston shows how women cannot achieve sexual equality until the sexual double standard and good girl/bad girl binary are eliminated and women viewed by society as "whores" are destigmatized. Illustrating how women's sexuality is policed by both men and women, she argues that women must be allowed the same personal autonomy as men: the freedom to make sexual decisions for themselves, to obtain orgasm equality, and to insist on their own sexual pleasure. Dispelling the myth that all sex workers are victims and all clients are violent, Slut-Shaming, Whorephobia, and the Unfinished Sexual Revolution calls out Western society's hypocrisy about sex and shows how stigma and the marginalization of sex workers harms all women."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 650 0 $a Women $x Sexual behavior. 650 0 $a Stigma (Social psychology) 650 0 $a Sex workers. 650 0 $a Prostitution. 650 0 $a Rape culture. 650 0 $a Sex. 650 7 $a Prostitution. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01079562 650 7 $a Rape culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst02015056 650 7 $a Sex. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01114160 650 7 $a Sex workers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01982348 650 7 $a Stigma (Social psychology) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01133365 650 7 $a Women $x Sexual behavior. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176942 776 08 $i Online version: $a Ralston, Meredith L. $t Slut-shaming, whorephobia, and the unfinished sexual revolution. $d Montreal ; Kingston ; London ; Chicago : McGill-Queen's University Press, 2021 $z 9780228007982 $z 9780228007982 $w (OCoLC)1232163636 941 $a 1 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20211201010734.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5B27E682527411EC8E4D38A14AECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
