description: In this groundbreaking new look at rape edited by writer and activist Jaclyn Friedman and Full Frontal Feminism and Hes A Stud Shes A Slut author Jessica Valenti the way we view rape in our culture is finally dismantled and replaced with a genuine understanding and respect for female sexual pleasure. Feminist political and activist writers alike will present their ideas for a paradigm shift from the No Means No modelan approach that while necessary for where we were in 1974 needs an overhaul today.Yes Means Yes will bring to the table a dazzling variety of perspectives and experiences focused on the theory that educating all people to value female sexuality and pleasure leads to viewing women differently and ending rape. Yes Means Yes aims to have radical and far-reaching effects: from teaching men to treat women as collaborators and not conquests encouraging men and women that women can enjoy sex instead of being shamed for it and ultimately that our children can inherit a world where rape is rare and swiftly punished. With commentary on public sex education pornography mass media Yes Means Yes is a powerful and revolutionary anthology.
