“Teenage boys are raised on pop culture that presents having sex ‘like a man’ as the ultimate form of female sexual empowerment, and, in the porn to which they are typically exposed from childhood, women are shown begging men for painful or degrading sex acts.”
― Louise Perry, The Case Against the Sexual Revolution: A New Guide to Sex in the 21st Century

“She isn’t special: she’s a normal woman who has just enough emotional insight to recognise that hook-up culture isn’t good for her but is lacking the political insight to recognise the existence of a bigger problem.”
― Louise Perry, The Case Against the Sexual Revolution: A New Guide to Sex in the 21st Century

“particularly when sex carries so many more risks for women, in terms of violence and pregnancy.”
― Louise Perry, The Case Against the Sexual Revolution: A New Guide to Sex in the 21st Century

“Men are encouraged into ‘cad’ mode, pursuing temporary relationships that offer all of the pleasures of cheap sex and none of the responsibilities of commitment.”
