WLRN member aurora linnea reviews Sheila Jeffreys’ book Penile Imperialism: the Male Sex Right & Women’s Subordination published by Spinifex Press.
Man saw all that he had made – a phallocentric universe dedicated to his pleasure, the whole of human society renovated into one great big sex-dungeon-cum-masturbatorium – and it was good. Sheila Jeffreys saw it, and called it “penile imperialism.” And it was vile.
Long our most unflinching historian of men’s sexual grotesquery, Jeffreys draws from her forty years of probing and mapping the dark groin of male dominion to present a big-picture view of the current catastrophe in her latest book, Penile Imperialism: The Male Sex Right and Female Subordination, released in September through Spinifex Press.
Penile Imperialism gives us what we need to become as holistic in our revolt, and as sweeping in our vision of freedom, as men in their sex-fueled reign of terror have been.
