The Will to Change: Men, Masculinity, and Love, by bell hooks.
Where I wondered if women truly enjoy and find fulfillment in no-strings-attached, non-committal sex or if we’ve been socialized by a patriarchal message that promulgates a promise of gender equality on the platform of sex in order to maintain its ultimate agenda to keep sex open and available to men so that their manhood can continue to be affirmed and upheld. I also learned that women play a much larger role in the maintenance of patriarchy than we are comfortable admitting, and that the only way to progress towards a more equitable society is to allow men the same tenderness that is prescribed to us while divorcing ourselves from wanting the same power that men have prescribed to them.
