Summary
Ditching the stuffy hang-ups and benighted sexual traditionalism of the past is an unambiguously positive thing. The sexual revolution has liberated us to enjoy a heady mixture of erotic freedom and personal autonomy. Right?
Wrong, argues Louise Perry in her provocative new book. Although it would be neither possible nor desirable to turn the clock back to a world of pre-60s sexual mores, she argues that the amoral libertinism and callous disenchantment of liberal feminism and our contemporary hypersexualised culture represent more loss than gain. The main winners from a world of rough sex, hook-up culture, and ubiquitous porn–where anything goes and only consent matters–are a tiny minority of high-status men, not the women forced to accommodate the excesses of male lust. While dispensing sage advice to the generations paying the price for these excesses, she makes a passionate case for a new sexual culture built around dignity, virtue, and restraint.
This counter-cultural polemic from one of the most exciting young voices in contemporary feminism should be listened to by all men and women uneasy about the mindless orthodoxies of our ultra-liberal era.

A must-read for every woman
Full of uncomfortable truths but an absolutely essential read. I only wish I'd read it 20 years ago and saved myself from the misery of toxic hook-up culture.

Profound and saddening
I’m a failed husband but I’m trying to be a good father, and look after my ex wife.
I found myself in tears listening to this. Wishing I had tried harder. Been better.
That’s not to say I’m taking all the blame but there’s so much I could have done better.
Every man should read this, even if they’re a good man. It reinforces that it’s right to be chivalrous, kind and enjoy the beauty of intimacy. Patience. Kindness. Courage. Gentility. Giving of time and energy.
Thank you, Louise. I hope many people read this. It is, in my view, essential reading.

fascinating
very engaging listen. Perry is undoubtedly brave in taking on liberal feminism which torches anything that opposes it. her analysis is much needed.

Superb - our generation needed to read this in our teens
As a 40 year old man, with a 10 year old son I don’t get to live with… this message hits home. I don’t know the answer as you can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube… but I do know Louise makes me feel a lot happier knowing what’s going on and why. Better than the existential confusion I think a lot of us feel these days. Let’s hope our daughters and their daughters have it better in the years to come.

Brilliant!
A revelatory book convincingly showing how the excesses of the sexual revolution are harming society and exploiting rather than liberating women,

I’ve been waiting for the audiobook!
Such an easy listen because Louise has written so well on a topic that is much needed. As a woman in my 20s and a married Christian, a lot of what she writes is not new to me but it is really interesting to hear marriage, the value of sex and the realities of motherhood spoken about by someone with a secular and evolutionary perspective. I listened to this book as part of a feminist book club and it was such a refreshing listen. Thank you, Louise, you’re an absolute legend.

At last! Truth 🙏
I have been harbouring so many of the viewpoints in this book for some time now, and here they are at last: in words so eloquently stated, well researched and yet easily understood and to the point. It took me 43 years to understand the underlying truths and moral codes governing male and female sexuality that liberal feminism so irresponsibly denies and dismisses. Needless to say, learning the hard way caused much unnecessary misery and strife. Thank you for writing this book so that young women might be saved the same arduous, heartbreaking, painful and often dangerous task. Liberal feminism has done much harm in pretending that the truths within these pages are false and in prioritizing an ideology of freedom above the best interests and safety of women and children. This book comes at a crucial point in contemporary history, and with any luck as a herald of the end of hook-up culture, Feast your ears on this audio book and arm yourself with knowledge and advice that might just save your life.

if you consider yourself a feminist...
I dare you to listen to this audio book. This has opened my eyes to what young women are experiencing and the mass exodus from family life as we know it under the guise of feminism. Mother does indeed, know best.
