Louise Perry's 2022 feminist critique of the sexual revolution — arguing that liberalized sexual norms have primarily benefited men, that women's genuine interests lie closer to traditional norms around sex and commitment, and that feminist sexual liberation was a mistake.
Creates the feminist anti-sexual-revolution argument — Perry's case (that consent is necessary but insufficient as an ethical framework for sex, that the pornography industry is built on the degradation of women, and that women's preferences for committed relationships deserve more cultural support than sexual freedom) is the most coherent feminist case against the sexual revolution.
