The Right to Sex: Feminism in the Twenty-First Century
Amia SrinivasanKate WillettIt’s been about a year since I read it but I still think about the book “The Right to Sex” and how honest it was about the ways sex positivity can be weaponized in a misogynistic society w/o dismissing that those most hurt by its absence are women and queers. Real rigor there.

Listen, Liberal: Or, What Ever Happened to the Party of the People?
Thomas FrankKate WillettIf you’d like to read more about how and why the Democratic Party abandoned the labor movement, “Listen Liberal” by Thomas Frank is a great intro. He’s not a socialist, just a guy who wants everybody to eat and to avoid characters like Trump arising from right wing “populism”

Open: One Woman's Journey Through Love and Polyamory
Rachel KrantzKate WillettIt’s tough to thread the needle when talking about how some men weaponize the language of sex positivity to coerce bc you don’t wanna feed the puriteens/trads/religious right/swerfs. Best book I read recently on the topic is Open by Rachel Krantz, she held a principled line https://t.co/fCgfwaQhSv

No Future: Queer Theory and the Death Drive
Lee EdelmanKate WillettI know this isn’t the point but I think we should push “radical queer theory” onto kids. Going to read mine Lee Edelman’s “No Future.” Let those babies know I’m not falling for their reproductive futurist BS, I’m here to embody the death drive not to play with dumb little toys https://t.co/voMAlyhDyT

Polysecure: Attachment, Trauma and Consensual Nonmonogamy
Jessica FernKate WillettI read this dude’s book, More than Two, and IMO it reads like a how to manual for emotional abuse. Very upsetting to think how many people have taken this guy’s advice. For a healthy perspective on non-monogamous relationships I personally enjoyed Polysecure by Jessica Fern
