What Others Are Saying About The S&M Feminist * * * "I wish we could make it so everyone buying a copy of Fifty Shades of Grey would also buy Clarisse Thorn's The S&M Feminist." ~ A.V. Flox, editor of BlogHer's Love & Sex section "Clarisse isn't afraid to talk about her own experiences with BDSM, relationships, and sexual politics. But she's also not afraid to explore some of the issues around consent, violence, and safety that a lot of the kink cheerleaders would like to sweep under the rug. She brings a refreshing honesty to her writing that is often lacking. Add to that a deep commitment to feminism and sex-positivity, and you have an amazing combination. "The tension between kink and feminism is a tough one to hold onto and most people end up firmly in one camp or the other. What makes Clarisse's writing phenomenal is her steadfast refusal to avoid doing that. The clarity with which she discusses both sides without resorting to caricatures or stereotypes is simultaneously inspiring and challenging. If you're interested in either or both, I can't recommend her enough." ~ Charlie Glickman, educator at the classic feminist sex store Good Vibrations * * * * * * * * * The S&M Feminist: Best of Clarisse Thorn * * * Clarisse Thorn Smashwords Edition * * * clarissethorn.com @ClarisseThorn * * * This ebook is copyright 2012 Clarisse Thorn.
