Boys & Sex: Young Men on Hookups, Love, Porn, Consent, and Navigating the New Masculinity by Peggy Orenstein
3.0
Interesting but at times extremely reductive and often moralizing. The author’s opinion showed through a lot— not that I’m against putting your opinion into your academic writing, I think that’s both inevitable and necessary, I just… didn’t like hers lol. Just very clear that it was written by a middle-aged white woman living in Berkeley lmao. I will say I found the part about restorative justice in campus SA cases very interesting and well-explored, and it caused me to really think through my own experiences with SVSH and its aftermath in undergrad.
