Sexual Paranoia Comes to Campus
Feb 08, 2018spl_merley rated this title 5 out of 5 stars
Kipnis dives into the murky and danger filled waters of feminism, sexuality and University administrative reach with her deft voice, brutal wit and a certain amount of fearlessness. She weaves together the story of several hearings under Title IX investigations of sexual misconduct to raise questions about the systems, frames and controls that are shaping conversations about sex and the expanding definition of sexual assault on campuses in the US. While very readable this is a challenging read because Kipnis demands that we not give into easy answers but rather grapple with how equality, responsibility and regret intersect with power and politics and justice.
