Abstract

"#Metoo's stunning explosion on social media in October 2017 within days and weeks toppled the likes of Harvey Weinstein, Charlie Rose, Matt Lauer to name a few of the most prominent . But, as the movement spread, not all feminists agreed. Like the sex wars that preceeded it, a confict emerged among feminist supporters and detractors about where to put the emphasis: Danger vs pleasure. Coercion vs choice. This book traces the history of these conflicts, the validity and importance of what each side was seeking, the resistance to finding common ground, the media's pleasure in characterizing the debates as polarized cat fights and squabbles, the curiously similar iterations of these divisions - often stated too simplistically as pro and anti-sex - from the 70's through the 90's to the #metoo movement. The book examines tensions between the need for recognition and protection under the law, and the collosal and ongoing failure of that law to redress historic injustice. #MeToo circumvented law altogether and raised questions yet again, of how regulating sexual harm serves or fails us. Reparative models provide useful tools for moving forward differently, focussing on shared desired outcomes and a willingness to understand the other side. Harvey Weinstein, Al Franken, Aziz Ansari, Avital Ronell. This bookexplores what has been learned from these stories, what traps we repeatedly fall into, how we have been denied our anger, and where to begin to make law work"--
