How should we talk about sex? It is a thing we have and also a thing we do: a supposedly private act laden with public meaning, a personal preference shaped by outside forces, a place where pleasure and ethics can pull wildly apart. We need to interrogate the fraught relationships between discrimination and preference, pornography and freedom, rape and racial injustice, punishment and accountability, pleasure and power, capitalism and liberation. We need to rethink sex as a political phenomenon.

"Du bist eine Frau. Du bist: Die Zentrale der Zuständigkeiten. Denn du kannst alles. Wer alles kann, ist auch für alles zuständig. Dein Können ist gefragt wie nie. Doch die Sache hat einen Haken. Einerseits willst und sollst du arbeiten, Geld verdienen, durchstarten – andererseits sorgen, lieben, achtsam sein. Der Widerspruch zwischen "hart" und "weich" zwingt dich in den Kampfmodus. Du kämpfst mit deinen eigenen Entscheidungen, Gedanken und Gefühlen; du kämpfst mit den Wünschen, Zielen, Meinungen anderer.

Demonic temptresses–from siren-mermaids to Lilith–are well known today, and their mythology focuses around the seductive danger they pose to men. But the root of these figures can be traced back 4,000 years and in their earliest incarnations they were in fact demons worshipped and feared by women.

Warum kam man erst im späten 20. Jahrhundert auf die Idee, Räder unter Reisekoffer zu montieren - obwohl es das Rad schon seit fünftausend Jahren gibt? Wären wir womöglich nie auf den Mond gelangt ohne das Wissen amerikanischer Näherinnen? Und wie sähe eigentlich eine Welt aus, in der Frauen genauso viel Gehör finden wie Männer? Die schwedische Bestsellerautorin Katrine Marçal zeigt mit viel Verve, was die Menschheit über die Jahrhunderte verloren (oder erst viel später erfunden) hat, weil eine Hälfte von ihr - die Frauen - nicht mitreden, mitbestimmen, miterfinden durfte.

Fascinating Womanhood for the Timeless Woman holds the position that most cultures have lost the sense of ascendancy that comes from proper cultivation of femininity and masculinity in women and men, respectively. This book teaches that femininity inspires a noble masculinity in men and that it empowers and liberates women to pursue their greatest potential. It is not merely a book of personal or moral opinions. It’s based, in part, on modern science, over 50 years of teaching experience and feedback, and, most importantly, results.

When Feminist Theory: From Margin to Center was first published in 1984, it was welcomed and praised by feminist thinkers who wanted a new vision. Even so, individual audiences frequently found the theory unsettling or provocative. Today, the blueprint for feminist movement presented in this audiobook remains as provocative and relevant as ever. Written in hooks's characteristic direct style, Feminist Theory embodies the hope that feminists can find a common language to spread the word and create a mass, global feminist movement.

Lewis Howes grew up as an athlete. He was a two-sport All-American and went on to play football professionally. Howes then transferred his competitive nature from sports to business, building his podcast, The School of Greatness, into a global phenomenon. But his whole identity was built on misguided beliefs about what "masculinity" was: dangerous, false ideas learned from teammates and coaches in locker rooms and stereotypes in the media. Like so many men, Howes grew up to be angry, frustrated, and always chasing something that was never enough.
