Abstract:
How can feminism fight patriarchy while preserving some women's desire for patriarchal sex and other women's desire to liberate themselves from it? In a Rapture of Distress argues for a more capacious definition of sex-positive, via a curious rather than a moral spectatorship upon the sex life of women of different cultures and generations.
