Mrs Nina Macfie's Reviews > The Case Against the Sexual Revolution: A New Guide to Sex in the 21st Century

I have deducted one star because this book is a bit repetitive in places, but it’s well-written, reasoned and thought-provoking. As the author says, it should be compulsory reading for young women. I’m somewhat younger than the likes of Germaine Greer, but it depresses me that so many years after those ground-breaking early feminists, women are still willing to view their lives through the prism of what men dictate they should do/feel/think. We’ve been sold a pup, ladies! And now, trans women (mainly those who either still are, or formerly were, men - let’s not forget) are attacking our very identity. When will we gain the confidence to say “er, no, I’m not buying this”? And actually mean it? I don’t hate men. I’m happily married to one. Like Louise Perry, I acknowledge there are real differences between the sexes, and always will be. But I refuse to believe that having XY chromosomes automatically entitles a male to be my master. I hope all who read this book arrive at the same conclusion because only then will we achieve true equality … and respect for each other as human beings.
