What stood out for me was the timing of the book’s release : on the same day, as some research article saying women don’t have sexual fantasies. Well, My Secret Garden sure debunks that myth. This book decreased my shame about my sexual fantasies and reading the stories of other women made me feel completely normal and gave me great ideas to fantasize about.
Also, “Sexual freedom was never a part of modern feminism, never celebrated as such at Feminist Headquarters.” XV
”MS will decided what women’s fantasies are”xvi “ ….Matriarchal Feminist are consciously determined to leave sex of the agenda” xvi. It is hard for me to comprehend that the women’s movement didn’t support the sexual revolution. Leaving out which I believe a core right “ the right to sexual freedom” The women’s right to have control over her own body, a right to pleasure. It makes me want to talk more openly to women about their right to “speak their mind and state their pleasure” wether to another woman or man.
