This has resulted in a myriad of new theories, debates, and mediated movements, including #MeToo and #TimesUp. In this book, Tina Sikka explores many of the contradictions and tensions that make up these debates and movements. She looks in particular at those that draw together contemporary understandings of justice, violence, consent, pleasure, and desire. Drawing on the cases of Avital Ronell, Aziz Ansari, Jian Ghomeshi, Harvey Weinstein, and Louis CK, she applies historical, explanatory, diagnostic, and solutions-based tools to unpack two debates in particular: contemporary sexual norms with regards to what is permissible and desirable sexual behavior, and what constitutes justice in relation to gender-based sexual violence. Ultimately, Sikka proposes concrete legislative and policy recommendations and examines the necessary cultural changes needed to retain a progressive conception of sexual relations and consent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch1\u003eIncreasingly Fraught Debates about Sex, Consent, Feminism, Justice, Law, and Gender Relations\u003c\/h1\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn recent years, debates about sex, consent, feminism, justice, law, and gender relations have become increasingly fraught, taking center stage in academic, journalistic, and social media circles.
