 Was Frauen wollen, wissen Felicia Mutterer und Sonja Koppitz ziemlich gut. In ihrem Podcast "Straight" besprechen sie genau das. Denn "Straight" ist ein Podcast für alle, die Frauen lieben.

In December 2012, the violent gang rape of a young Indian woman in Delhi shocked the world. India was a country of booming modernisation twinned with centuries-old cultural riches. Was the cruelty of the assault indicative of something profoundly disturbing lurking beneath the surface? Sunny Hundal's arresting exploration of how Indian society treats its women argues exactly this. As a country, India has a disproportionate amount of men to women. They are financial and often social burdens upon their parents.

Ranging in age from six to 40, 38 sons and daughters of lesbians offer brief essays that could be valuable to like offspring, as well as to relatives and friends trying to understand the problems such children face. Homophobia, visited upon the children as well as their mothers, is the most commonly cited concern; some younger contributors feel isolated from their peers, and a couple of boys endure rejection from radical lesbian acquaintances.

Boys shows listeners that at the end of the day, there isn't one type of boy in the world, but lots of boys with all their own stories.

Pace a tutti gli uomini di buona volontà. Ma guerra agli altri. Perché ne abbiamo abbastanza. Aggressioni scioviniste sul web, risse, stupri, omicidi. L’invisibilità delle donne, escluse dai ruoli decisionali. In una parola: il machismo al potere. Da troppo tempo siamo governati dall’internazionale del testosterone: Trump, Putin, Xi Jinping, Bolsonaro, Erdogˇan, Johnson… Risultato: un’emergenza migratoria non gestita, una crisi economica infinita, un pianeta in fiamme. E un clima di arroganza e di odio che favorisce il diffondersi del populismo e mina le istituzioni democratiche.

Durante siglos, las sociedades han tratado la dominación masculina como lo "natural". ¿Y si viéramos, no obstante, la desigualdad de género como algo más frágil que ha tenido que ser constantemente reconstruido y reafirmado? En este audiolibro audaz y radical, la reconocida periodista científica Angela Saini explora las raíces de lo que llamamos "patriarcado", descubriendo una historia compleja de cómo se incrustó por primera vez en las sociedades y se extendió por todo el mundo, desde la Prehistoria hasta el presente.

Nancy K. Miller describes her friendships with three well-known scholars and literary critics: Carolyn Heilbrun, Diane Middlebrook, and Naomi Schor. Their relationships were simultaneously intimate and professional, emotional and intellectual, animated by the ferment of the women’s movement. Friendships like these sustained the generation of women whose entrance into male-dominated professions is still reshaping American society. The stories of their intertwined lives and books embody feminism’s belief in the political importance of personal experience.

Growing up in Las Cruces, New Mexico, the lean child of working-class Chicago transplants, Judy Grahn hungered to connect with the larger world, to create a place for herself beyond the deprivations and repressions of small-town 1950s life. Refusing the imperative to silence that was her inheritance as a woman and as a lesbian, Grahn found her way to poetry, to activism, and to the intoxicating beauty and power of openly loving other women.

Since beginning The Everyday Sexism project as a website in 2012, Bates has begun what some are calling 'the fourth-wave feminism'. By gathering instances of sexism experienced on a day-to-day basis, Bates has proved to the world that, not only does sexism exist, but that it is a problem faced by women every day. Bates has authored best-selling books, and now works closely with politicians, schools, police forces and organisations to tackle gender inequality. Bates was awarded a British Empire Medal for services to gender equality in 2015.

How Sex Became a Civil Liberty is the first book to show how and why we have come to see sexual expression, sexual practice, and sexual privacy as fundamental rights. Using rich archival sources and oral interviews, historian Leigh Ann Wheeler shows how the private lives of women and men in the American Civil Liberties Union shaped their understanding of sexual rights as they built the constitutional foundation for the twentieth-century's sexual revolutions.

Back in January 1995 in Los Angeles, California, a Singaporean pornstar named Annabel Chong took cultural rebellion to an extreme, on terms that had never been negotiated before. She was filmed having sex with a long receiving line of men, servicing them 251 times over a ten-hour period to set a new world record: The World’s Biggest Gangbang.

Why are women leading the fight against feminism and women's rights? From pop icons to working mothers, women are abandoning feminism in unprecedented numbers. Even scarier, they are also leading the charge to send it to its grave.

Developmental biologist Lewis Wolpert has devoted years of research on sex and gender and aims to dispel the myths and further scientific understanding of the Xs and Ys that make us all who we are. Why Can't a Man Be More Like a Woman? is an exercise in critical and unbiased thinking. From fertilization and evolution to aggressive men and emotional women, Wolpert explores the whole gamut of sexual development and gender differentiation.

Il existe de grandes différences entre les hommes et les femmes dans la façon d'être surdoué et de vivre cet état. Les femmes à haut potentiel ne répondent pas de la même manière que les hommes aux contraintes d'une société dans laquelle les schémas de réussite sont encore imprégnés de sexisme. Le défi est double pour elles : dans un monde fondé sur l'image d'une femme au corps parfait et non d'une femme dotée d'un cerveau, il leur faut réussir à articuler leur féminité et leur intelligence et se faire accepter.

The descendant of survivors of the Armenian genocide, Arlene Avakian was raised in America, where she could live free. But even with that freedom, she found herself a prisoner of both her family and society, denying her heritage along with her true sexuality. After marriage and motherhood, Arlene found herself exploring the growing women’s lib movement of the 1970s, coming to embrace the strength of her grandmother—known as the Lion Woman—and realizing her full potential and personhood.

Merle Hoffman's life story is riveting. A former classical pianist, a self-made millionaire, and a feminist who found her life's work providing abortions, she has been a fearless crusader for women's right to choose. Over the years, Hoffman has used her entrepreneurial spirit to build one of the most comprehensive women's medical centers in the country. In 1971 (two years before the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision to legalize abortion nationally), Hoffman founded Choices, an abortion clinic in New York.

Confessions of a Failed Slut blends personal reflections - "How the Love Boat Ruined My Life" - with contrarian takes on porn (online and off), dating (ditto), "slut shaming," sex toys, "robot hookers of the near future," dinosaur erotica, the multiplication of genders and orientations, and what she calls "the epidemic of beta male faggotry" plaguing the land.
