Sumario: | "Feminism is broken, argues Laura Kipnis, if anyone thinks the sexual hysteria overtaking American campuses is a sign of gender progress. ; A passionate feminist, Laura Kipnis was surprised to find herself the object of a protest march by student activists at her university for writing an essay about sexual paranoia on campus. Next she was brought up on Title IX complaints for creating a 'hostile environment.' Defying confidentiality strictures, she wrote a whistleblowing essay about the ensuing investigation, which propelled her to the centre of debates over free speech, 'safe spaces' and the vast federal overreach of Title IX. Drawing on interviews and internal documents, 'Unwanted Advances' demonstrates the chilling effect of this new sexual McCarthyism on intellectual freedom."--Contracubierta
