Our desires are messy

How can we fight against the thickness of patriarchal violence that crushes us even in our rooms, our bodies and our hearts? Adélaïde Barat Magan signs here a feminist manifesto nourished by testimonies, to finally make visible the complexity of our sexuality and its issues, to rethink sex, love, body and identity together. She explains what rape culture means, sexual coercion in couples, the notion of consent, what we call the gray zone. How to go from object of desire to desiring object? How to express your deep identity? The author invites us to learn to listen, to share our experiences and our doubts. She gives advice on not being alone, creating a safe space, because taking care of yourself differently can also be a radical initiative. It finally shows that we can allow ourselves to live our sexuality and our desires without shame and without guilt. This book shows how speech is political and that in our words there is the resistance we need to break the cycle of violence, silence and forgetting. The manifesto that helps us find the strength to fight together.
