You can't get what you want till you know what you want -- Bad things come in threes: shame, blame, and fear -- I'm okay, you're okay -- A woman's intuition -- What's love got to do with it? -- Freaks and geeks -- Let's talk about sex, baby -- It's complicated -- Do unto others -- Friends and family -- To infinity and beyond.
In this empowering, accessible guide, Jaclyn Friedman--co-editor of Yes Means Yes --gives young women the tools to decipher the modern world's confusing, hypersexualized, sometimes dangerous landscape so they can define their own sexual identity. Friedman decries the hypocrisy and mixed messages of our culture (we're failures if we don't act sexy, but we're sluts if we actually pursue sex; we need to be protected from rapists lurking in bushes, but deserve "whatever we get" if we have a drink at a party and wear a skirt), and encourages readers to separate fear from fact, decode the damaging messages.
