"What can the #MeToo moment teach queers about consent? And what can queers teach the rest of the world about ethical sex? This radical book brings together academics, activists, artists, and sex workers to tackle dangerous questions about sex, power, consent, and harm.While the authors in this volume are committed to promoting consensual, pleasurable sex, we reject heteronormative, one-size-fits-all models of consent and sexual ethics.#MeToo ushered in an era of reckoning and accountability for one powerful man after another. But too often it has defined sex and harm in starkly heterosexual-and often white and wealthy-terms."Unsafe Words" tells a queerer side of the #MeToo story. Not all of us seek safety in sex. Nor do we all believe "enthusiastic" models of consent are practical or appropriate for some queer communities. We look instead to the tools queer communities have developed themselves to practice ethical sex-from the sex worker negotiating with her client to the gay man having anonymous sex in the backroom. We also consider how queers can better respond to sexual violence. How can our communities do better at responding to and preventing sexual violence?This challenge is especially daunting in a world where the only recourse made available is typically law enforcement, a pillar of American racism, transmisogyny, and homophobia.How can our communities imagine different responses to sexual violence that do not depend on the law to serve justice?The "unsafe words" in this volume challenge dogmatic assumptions about sex and consent while exploring tools and language to promote better, more ethical, and more pleasurable sex for everyone"-- Provided by publisher

"To bring more awareness to the revolutionary international impact of #MeToo, The Other #MeToos brings together chapters that look at specific iterations of the #MeToo movement across multiple communities, cultures, and countries. Going beyond gender, the book takes into account the intersectional assemblage of location, history, religion, ethnicity, race, class, and neoliberal aspects that inform #MeToo and its place in local and transnational feminisms. From Egypt, Lebanon, Iran, Tunisia, and Morocco to India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka to South Africa to Latin America to South Korea, Japan, and China to Czech Republic - #MeToo has inspired local movements and hashtag trends as well as transnational and collective hashtags like #MosqueMeToo. Therefore, by making feminism mainstream, it has rendered possible international feminist solidarities unlike any other feminist movement that precedes it. It is critical to document this defining feminist moment of #MeToo and its variants to acknowledge the diversity and multidimensionality of transnational feminisms, along with looking at the various ways they have been changed by the #MeToo, internationally. To that argument, the contributions in this collection examine, analyze, and interrogate the reception, translation, and adaptation of #MeToo in their local, indigenous, minoritized, othered, and/or postcolonial contexts. Overall, The Other #MeToos highlights the adaptation, translation, and impact of #MeToo in non-Western, postcolonial, minoritized, and othered locales to expand the larger discourse and praxes of the #MeToo movement beyond its Americentric focus to explore other feminist possibilities that the movement has enabled"--

"Agressée sexuellement par son patron à l'âge de dix-sept ans, Léa Clermont-Dion décide, près d'une décennie plus tard, de poursuivre l'agresseur en justice. Elle consignera son expérience dans son journal jusqu'au procès. Pendant ce temps, l'affaire Harvey Weinstein déclenche le mouvement #MeToo, et des millions de femmes dénoncent la culture du viol à visage découvert. La déposition criante de vérité de Porter plainte témoigne de la froide autorité du droit et des luttes des victimes de crimes sexuels, qui reprennent la parole qu'on leur a soustraite"--Back cover

Sexual harassment is a problem that continues to plague mostly women in the American workforce today. One tool that victims can use in these situations is confrontation, either through verbal or physical means. Yet, understudied to this point is how perpetrators respond to confrontation, which is highly salient as to whether this is an effective tool for victims. This study uses grounded theory methods to analyze 31 accounts of sexual harassment from within the fashion industry that recorded perpetrators' responses to victim confrontation to clearly unwanted, abusive behavior. I argue that specific features of the fashion industry, or a “display work culture,” embolden perpetrators to effectively thwart any type of confrontation. Indeed, this study finds that these predominantly male perpetrators of sexual harassment moved to reassert their dominant position over their female victims in the moment of confrontation, immediately after being confronted, and even later, well beyond confrontation, as they aimed to reestablish normal business practices as usual. This research thus dispels a significant sexual harassment myth that victims working within this culture are able to stop perpetrators simply by speaking up and/or fighting back and points to the need for the development of sexual harassment theory to incorporate work culture-related risk factors and remedies.
