An unexpected cultural ally

THE CASE AGAINST THE SEXUAL REVOLUTION:
A new guide to sex in the 21st century.
By Louise Perry
Polity. 200 pages. £14.99
ISBN 978 1 509 549 993

Louise Perry has dedicated this book to ‘women who learned it the hard way’.

Having worked with victims of rape and abuse, she has seen the dark side of radical feminism and sexual ‘liberation’. Many young women are told that casual sex is empowering. But they are the losers in a hook-up culture which delivers loveless sex, humiliating abuse, and miserable abandonment. Men can get sex without commitment. Women tend to value commitment more than men. Sex leads to babies. Women have babies, men don’t.
