Ebook: Slut-Shaming, Whorephobia, and the Unfinished Sexual Revolution

Eliminating rape culture and the pleasure gap by ending good-girl privilege and bad-girl stigma.

The sexual revolution is unfinished. 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. 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.
