Untrue: Why Nearly Everything We Believe About Women, Lust, and Infidelity Is Wrong and How the New Science Can Set Us Free de Wednesday Martin

Untrue: Why Nearly Everything We Believe About Women, Lust, and Infidelity Is Wrong and How the New Science Can Set Us Free

Autor Wednesday Martin
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 sep 2019

În cadrul studiilor de psihologie și comportament sexual, volumul Untrue semnat de Wednesday Martin ocupă o poziție distinctă prin recalibrarea discursului despre dorința feminină. Considerăm că această lucrare reprezintă o completare esențială pentru bibliografia de specialitate, deoarece deconstruiește prejudecățile culturale care au etichetat istoric infidelitatea feminină ca fiind o patologie sau o devianță morală. Autorul integrează date din antropologie, sociologie și biologie evoluționistă pentru a demonstra că nevoia de noutate și varietate sexuală nu este un atribut exclusiv masculin, ci o componentă intrinsecă a sexualității umane, indiferent de gen.

Structura narativă pendulează între analiza academică și reportajul de teren, oferind perspective surprinzătoare din locuri diverse, precum cluburile de sex din Los Angeles sau savanele din Namibia. Cititorii familiarizați cu What Do Women Want? de Daniel Bergner vor aprecia modul în care Wednesday Martin extinde cercetarea acestuia, trecând de la laborator la realitatea socială și politică. În timp ce Bergner se concentrează pe mecanismele biologice ale libidoului, Untrue plasează aceste descoperiri într-un context feminist, argumentând că controlul asupra sexualității feminine a fost istoric un instrument de subordonare socială. De asemenea, lucrarea rezonează cu tezele din Sex at Dawn, însă aduce o perspectivă proaspătă prin interviuri directe cu femei care au ales să ignore normele monogamiei tradiționale. Recomandăm acest volum pentru rigoarea cu care analizează paradoxul epocii actuale: deși trăim într-o eră a emancipării, judecata socială asupra femeilor „infidele” rămâne disproporționată. Stilul este precis, lipsit de senzaționalism, oferind o bază solidă pentru dezbateri despre viitorul parteneriatelor și al egalității de gen.

Descriere scurtă

From the #1New York Timesbestselling author ofPrimates of Park Avenue, a bold, timely reconsideration of female infidelity that will upend everything you thought you knew about women and sex.

What do straight, married female revelers at an all-women's sex club in LA have in common with nomadic pastoralists in Namibia who bear children by men not their husbands? Like women worldwide, they crave sexual variety, novelty, and excitement.

In ancient Greek tragedies, Netflix series, tabloids and pop songs, we've long portrayed such cheating women as dangerous and damaged. We love to hate women who are untrue. But who are they really? And why, in this age of female empowerment, do we continue to judge them so harshly? InUntrue, feminist author and cultural critic Wednesday Martin takes us on a bold, fascinating journey to reveal the unexpected evolutionary legacy and social realities that drive female faithlessness, while laying bare our motivations to contain women who step out.

Blending accessible social science and interviews with sex researchers, anthropologists, and real women from all walks of life,Untruechallenges our deepest assumptions about ourselves, monogamy, and the women we think we know. From recent data suggesting women may struggle more than men with sexual exclusivity to the revolutionary idea that females of many species evolved to be "promiscuous" to Martin's trenchant assertion that female sexual autonomy is the ultimate metric of gender equality,Untruewill change the way you think about women and sex forever.

Recenzii

"[An] eminently readable treatise on the lies society has been fed about female sexuality, agency, and infidelity. With each chapter, Martin builds a case for the primacy of female infidelity and for a societal reckoning with that truth. Step by step, she shows that she's thought deeply about her subject, and that all of these seemingly disparate intellectual threads are related and worthy of having been braided together. The sui generis quality ofUntrueis the author's forte."

—Deb Copaken, The Atlantic
"Scientifically literate and sexually cliterate...an exuberant unfettering of female sexuality that challenges us to 'think outside her box.' Viva la Vulva!"—Ian Kerner, sex therapist and author of She Comes First
"A simultaneously frothy and substantive tour of female sexual desire...An indispensable work of popular psychology and sociology."—Kirkus (Starred Review)

"At times playful, the narrative teems with fascinating commentary about everything from bonobos and paleolithic gender roles to Craigslist ads, as Martin examines how female sexuality continues to be shaped and stigmatized by artificial social constructions, sociopolitical values, and economics, all under the guise of 'natural' female biology and desire. A timely take on femininity and sexuality."—Emily Bowles, Library Journal (Starred Review)
"Combining Barbara Ehrenreich's immersive reporting style and Carrie Bradshaw's savoir faire, [Wednesday Martin] dispels many myths about female desire."—O, The Oprah Magazine
For centuries, men have been telling the story of female sexuality. Unsurprisingly, it was riddled with condescension, bias, and sheer ignorance. WithUntrue, Wednesday Martin sets the record straight, shining a light on some of the female researchers reshaping our understanding of what turns women on, and why. This is an important story, beautifully told. Highly recommended."—Christoper Ryan, coauthor of Sex at Dawn
If you have ever felt different, other, or just weird when it comes to love, sex, or intimacy, readUntrue. In it, Wednesday Martin bulldozes the sexual stereotypes that have silenced and constrained us for centuries, bringing the voices of women who love in a range of ways to the surface. Dazzling."—Rachel Simmons, co-founder of Girls Leadership and author of Enough as She Is Odd Girl Out
"Wednesday Martin understands female sexuality -- from the #MeToo movement and polyamory to women's prehistoric and cultural heritage. She goes far beyond our current psychological understanding of women's infidelity to tell the real story of women's ubiquitous, tenacious, and primordial sexual strategies. And her writing is not only informative, timely, and refreshing but wonderfully engaging. Brava, Wednesday."—Helen Fisher, author of The First Sex and Why We Love
