Louise Perry, the author of "The Case Against the Sexual Revolution: A New Guide to Sex in the 21st Century," questions the once unambiguously positive view of the sexual revolution.

Perry argues that sex-positive feminism justifies abusive and power imbalanced sexual practices and pressures women to imitate masculine roles.

She believes that inherent physical and psychological differences between men and women have profound social implications that the current sexual culture doesn't serve. Her book challenges the idea that the sexual revolution was an unqualified success.
