La guerra eterna entre lo masculino y lo femenino que marcó el origen y el devenir de la civilización, desde la revolución agrícola hasta la industrial, desde las antiguas mitologías hasta las estrategias de comunicación masiva, desde los tiempos lejanos en que la divinidad era mujer hasta la guerra de los dioses en que los hombres tomaron el poder. Paz en la guerra de los sexos es un viaje a través de la historia y del universo, desde las profundidades más místicas hasta las más mundanas.

In Revolting Prostitutes, sex workers Juno Mac and Molly Smith bring a fresh perspective to questions that have long been contentious. Speaking from a growing global sex worker rights movement, and situating their argument firmly within wider questions of migration, work, feminism, and resistance to white supremacy, they make it clear that anyone committed to working towards justice and freedom should be in support of the sex worker rights movement.

Bronislaw Malinowski's seminal work, Sex and Repression in Savage Society, delves into the intricate dynamics of sexuality and societal control within primitive cultures. Published in 1927, this ethnographic study challenges prevailing Victorian notions of sexuality and sheds light on the nuanced ways in which indigenous societies navigate and regulate sexual behaviors. Malinowski's immersive fieldwork in the Trobriand Islands enables him to provide a rich anthropological account, exploring the role of rituals, customs, and taboos in shaping sexual practices.

Good Sex is the manifesto or Manisexto, if you will for this cultural revolution. Same-sex marriage is legal, the #MeToo movement has exploded, colleges nationwide now teach consent-based sexual health, the media celebrates body positivity, and transgender visibility has become mainstream. Defining "good sex" as both ethical and pleasurable, Catherine M. Roach features such topics as equity, intersectionality, and shared pleasure while offering a lively discussion that is inclusively feminist, queer-friendly, and sex-positive without being divisive.

Depuis des siècles, on nous dit que l'espèce humaine est naturellement monogame, que Mme Cro-Magnon, en peau de bête, avait avidement besoin pour sa survie de la protection d'un seul et unique chasseur (le plus puissant, évidemment !) en échange de sa fertilité tant convoitée et de sa fidélité éternelle. Et si Darwin s'était trompé ? Et si nos chers ancêtres préhistoriques nous révélaient enfin la vérité sur notre sexualité humaine ?

"Comment la femme fait-elle l'apprentissage de sa condition, comment l'éprouve-t-elle, dans quel univers se trouve-t-elle enfermée, quelles évasions lui sont permises, voilà ce que je chercherai à décrire. Alors seulement nous pourrons comprendre quels problèmes se posent aux femmes qui, héritant d'un lourd passé, s'efforcent de forger un avenir nouveau."

We inherit mechanisms for survival from our primeval past - none so obviously as those involved in reproduction. The hormone testosterone underlies the organization of activation of masculinity: It changes the body and brain to make a male. It is involved not only in sexuality but in driving aggression, competitiveness, risk-taking - all elements that were needed for successful survival and reproduction in the past. But these ancient systems are carried forward into a modern world.

The fear of campus sexual assault has become an inextricable part of the college experience. But why is sexual assault such a common feature of college life? And what can be done to prevent it?
