[Wamvan] My review of What You Really Want by WAM! Founder for rabble.ca/ reminder about tomorrow's book launch

Sun Nov 6 20:37:26 PST 2011

WINGS has a new deadline every week.  No events, so far, but if anyone
wants to help with digitizing the archives, let me know.  About half of the
roughly 1500 programs we've released since 1986 have been digitized, and
there are also a lot of raw tapes and files that would be worth putting on
the record.

>>>>> Book synopsis:
>>>>> What You Really Really Want:
>>>>> The Smart Girl’s Shame-Free Guide to Sex & Safety
>>>>>
>>>>> How do I know if the person I’m flirting with is safe to date? What do
>>>>> I say to a friend who’s making questionable sexual choices? What if that
>>>>> friend is questioning my choices? How do I teach my kids to be safe and
>>>>> sane about sex without teaching them shame?
>>>>>
>>>>> All women have questions at the intersections of sex and safety. And
>>>>> it’s no wonder: our culture bombards women and girls with mixed messages
>>>>> every day. We’re supposed to be innocent virgins who excel at stripper-pole
>>>>> workouts. We’re failures if we don’t act sexy, but we’re sluts if we
>>>>> actually pursue sex. We need to be protected from rapists lurking in
>>>>> bushes, but deserve “whatever we get” if we have a drink at a party and
>>>>> wear a skirt.
>>>>>
>>>>> Jaclyn’s anthology *Yes Means Yes* laid out a vision of a world in
>>>>> which we all have the right to experience the pleasure of our bodies
>>>>> without shame, blame or fear. *What You Really Really Want* will help
>>>>> readers create that world for themselves, in their own lives. Using
>>>>> research, reality-based advice, revealing quizzes and creative exercises,
>>>>> *What You Really Really Want* will show readers the way to separate
>>>>> fear from fact, decode the dangerous messages all around us, and discover a
>>>>> healthy personal sexuality. We’ll build new skills for safely expressing
>>>>> that sexuality with lovers, explore effective ways to talk about tricky
>>>>> issues with family and friends, and learn how to make the world a little
>>>>> safer for everyone else’s sexuality along the way. Coming November
>>>>> 2011 – pre-order today!<http://www.amazon.com/What-You-Really-Want-Shame-Free/dp/1580053440/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1304301682&sr=1-1>
