Sinossi
Gli uomini apprezzano il sesso più delle donne. L'adulterio è un istinto prevalentemente maschile. Le donne tradiscono per amore, gli uomini per sport. Sono solo alcuni dei falsi miti che l'autrice prende di mira in questa sorprendente esplorazione di cosa muove le donne in fatto di sesso. Nelle tragedie greche, nelle serie Netflix e sui media, la donna avventurosa in amore è quasi sempre sbagliata, eccessiva, pericolosa. Ma in una cultura che non può fare a meno di stigmatizzare le ragazze "disoneste", chi sono davvero queste presunte irregolari? Che cosa provano? Che cosa cercano? Quali mistificazioni, verità nascoste o trappole insidiose possono aiutarci a comprendere, a evitare? E perché, in un'epoca disinvolta come quella in cui viviamo, continuano ad attirare su di sé giudizi tanto severi? Incrociando biografia personale, critica culturale e i contributi dei ricercatori più accreditati in campo sociologico e antropologico, Wednesday Martin prende le mosse dal proprio contraddittorio vissuto di moglie felice e irrequieta per avventurarsi in un viaggio serio e divertente, intimo e attuale alla scoperta di quel vasto, sfaccettato e misconosciuto universo che è la sessualità femminile. Pronte a partire? Slacciate le cinture!

3 Stars. Wednesday Martin is a woman with very staunch ideas on women’s identities, adultery and sex. The idea of being “Untrue” v. True. How women and men are perceived differently if they are untrue, if they enjoy being sexual. Men are patted on the back and respected, while women are looked down u Leggi tutto
This book is about women having affairs. I have strong feelings about this matter and want to give a thorough review of this book. To that end, I will review the book as a break down of several aspects. The good. I want to recognize that this book is written quite well. The style is easy enough to r Leggi tutto
What a thoroughly enjoyable read! As having basically zero sex drive myself (let's be honest with ourselves: humans are repulsive), I blithely accepted the conventional wisdom that women had lower sex drives, cheated less, and were tempted to cheat less. Few things are more refreshing than books that Leggi tutto
Fascinating. Infuriating. I learned a lot that I should have learned in my many courses on the topic of human mate selection and sociobiology in college, and didn’t. I bought all the tropes Martin exposes here, and I’m pissed about it. Down with the patriarchy!
This book is a masterful review of a topic the author admits could be several volumes. It is a general introduction of the topics discussed with research to support and anecdotal stories to bring it to life. Ms. Martin's inquiring and intelligent writing was a breath of fresh air. This book is a cal Leggi tutto
Women, if you have ever wondered, "What's wrong with me?" then read this book. Men, if you have ever wondered, "Why does my woman do these things to me?" then STOP! She's not doing them to YOU . She's doing them because she WANTS to do them, because doing them is part of who she is as a woman, as
This book won't be for everybody. And I'll admit that my attention wandered a bit in chapters dealing with research into primates, etc. But the anecdotal sections and the historic detail of how monogamy became a thing were truly fascinating.
As a historian, I wanted to love this book- however, it reeks of white feminism. Very #GirlBoss and reminiscent of those who support Kamala without considering her economic policy. One of the main issues I have with this book is the attempted rationalization of women cheating. Martin frames women's a Leggi tutto
