Welcome back to Three Girls, One Book! This month, we tackle the book Sex & Punishment: Four thousand years of judging desire by Eric Berkowitz!
This book takes a raw and unfiltered look at sex laws throughout history: from ancient Mesopotamia to the war on porn in the 19th century. We cover the evolution of women’s rights & men’s ego’s, how laws mirror the dominant religion of the time, colonialism and how power & control are key factors in all of this. Wow; what a ride! We finish off on the parts that made us laugh and the moment we yelled “WTF!”
This episode also comes with a strong content warning: mentions of violence, sexual violence, intimate partner violence, sexism, & racism. All of this can be and is difficult to get through. If this is currently not in your energy wheelhouse, feel free to skip it!
