Amia Srinivasan is definitely fuckable, so, isn't her standpoint privileged when she writes about sex. I think she should shut up and let the more marginalize people talk. Like most men. (Just read the book and it's full of sexism and racism, by the way.)

One of the key concepts of the book (The right to sex) is fuckability. Patriarchy, so we are told, has made some bodies fucakble and others not. So, for example "women with dicks" are not fuckable within the lesbian community, because patriarchy.

Another key idea is that white men (who are the evil ones in all possible respects) think that they are entitled to women's bodies. And patriarchy has convinced many women to think so too. Can an Oxford professor really be this far removed from reality?

When I read the book the obvious bias, in my opinion, rises from the fact that her body is fuckable. So, she has no idea how the world looks like for those who are not particularly fuckable, as is the case with most men. So, she's te same time right (standpoint matters) and wrong (because she's unable to see her own privileged position).

That was the point of the title if you wondered.

This book sounds kinda incelish. She implies that her friend who deserved sex and romance, since she was "popular and beautiful", got it denied, because she was not a ~~Stacy~~ "hot blonde slut". I thought people weren't entitled to sex or dates and if "conferring status" is what you need to do to get dates and sex, then well you better become the kind of person who confers status to people who sleep with you. I thought it was your fault when people won't sleep with you, but I guess that only applies to men. When women don't get sex then it's the fault of societal norms. Societal norms that are influenced by patriarchy, at least in feminist belief. And patriarchy was created by men. So men are at fault that some women aren't desirable. Can't have sex = men bad.

This shit is not even incelish. It's full-on incel. Incel ideology is permissible in large publications as long as it comes from women and stipulates that it's women who are entitled to sex they don't get. Cool.

She must be a first generation naturalized citizen of the US or Western Europe or something. Women who have ancestry from the Indian sub continent/ Asia and are first generation first worlders have this new found freedom and they naturally gravitate towards feminism. All too obvious.

She spent her childhood in some of the most cosmopolitan cities of the world. I couldn't find who her parents were but I won't be wrong if they were some diplomats/Central govt. Employees living abroad/business owners(family money-connections).

It's amazing though. They most likely were the upper class of India. And this whackjob amia writes PhD theses about fucking and patriarchy. All that upper class status just so their daughter could write about patriarchy and fucking. You can even tell that her understanding of this world and it's deepest machinery hits a ceiling when all she can blame is patriarchy. Seriously, she needs to try harder go higher. Go more meta baby seriously.

And who the fuck reads guardian bro? Read the wall Street journal and financial times. Their op-eds spit facts.

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
