They grow old, loving one another for the rest of their lives. What's wrong with this picture?

Michel Foucault's 'The History of Sexuality' pioneered queer theory.

In 'The History of Sexuality',...

Peggy Orenstein's Girls & Sex broke ground, shattered taboos, and launched conversations about young women's right to pleasure and agency in sexual encounters. It also had an unexpected effect on its author: Orenstein realized that talking about girls is only half the conversation. Boys are subject to the same cultural forces as girls - steeped in the same distorted media images and binary stereotypes of female sexiness and toxic masculinity - which...

This fourth volume posits that the origins of totalitarian self-surveillance began...
