"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"--

In the aftermath of the MeToo movement, during an ongoing pandemic, and in the midst of repeated demands for a 50/50 split between men and women in above-the-line positions, this book analyzes and interrogates the politics of gender focusing on the Swedish film industry, often considered to be the most "gender equal" film industry worldwide. While this gender equality (with a considerable proportion of women behind the camera) is much due to policies carried out of the state funded Swedish Film Institute, women filmmakers in Sweden still struggle with the same problems as do women in other national film industries. These problems entail having smaller production and distribution budgets than men and working in an environment involving recurring scandals of gender discrimination and sexual harassment. This open access book looks behind the statistics and explores the often complex cultural, legal, and political conditions under which women have entered a male-dominated industry and discusses women’s strategies and efforts to promote change while providing evidence on how women’s presence has challenged the industry by provoking critical reactions and introducing new ways to portray women on screen. Using a wide range of different sources (e.g. archival material, laws, contracts, films, biographical materials, and interviews), the book tells the history of the rise of gender equality efforts undertaken by the Swedish Film Institute and investigates women’s possibilities to manage the rights to their work. It offers compelling portraits of pioneering women who have worked in or in relation to the industry and looks at the experiences of women currently working in the film industry.
