Pole-dancing studios keep women fit. Men airdrop their dick pics to female passengers on planes and trains. To top it off, the last American President has bragged about grabbing women \"by the pussy.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis pornification of our society is what Bernadette Barton calls \"raunch culture.\" Barton explores what raunch culture is, why it matters, and how it is ruining America. She exposes how internet porn drives trends in programming, advertising, and social media, and makes its way onto our phones, into our fashion choices, and into our sex lives. From twerking and breast implants, to fake nails and push-up bras, she explores just how much we encounter raunch culture on a daily basis--porn is the new normal. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on interviews, television shows, movies, and social media, Barton argues that raunch culture matters not because it is sexy, but because it is sexist. She shows how young women are encouraged to be sexy like porn stars, and to be grateful for getting cat-called or receiving unsolicited dick pics. As politicians vote to restrict women's access to birth control and abortion, \u003ci\u003eThe Pornification of America\u003c\/i\u003e exposes the double standard we attach to women's sexuality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bernadette Barton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1479894435\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781479894437\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.40w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2022","brand":"Bernadette Barton","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44049230954751,"sku":"9781479894437","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8d20f5c3-7959-47b9-b9e0-98d8f66955bb.jpg?v=1685000399","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-pornification-of-america-bernadette-barton-9781479894437","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
