The Joy of Consent
Eight years after the eruption of the #MeToo movement into public discourse, relations between men and women appear to be in a bad way. Manosphere influencers and incel forums have driven extreme misogyny into the mainstream. Straight women have found inspiration in the 4B movement emerging out of South Korea, which swears off partnership with men. Pundits have decried the ‘male loneliness crisis’. The widespread return to conservative values evi…
Erotic Ambivalence in Beauvoir’s Student Diaries
This article challenges Margaret E. Simons’s claim that Sartre forced himself on Beauvoir on October 15, 1929. We argue that Diary of a Philosophy Student: Volume 3, 1926–30 depicts the young Beauvoir struggling with conflicting feelings about marriage, sexual desire, and gender roles. Highlighting early reflections on “the woman in love,” we suggest that Beauvoir’s diary discloses gendered harm but not sexual violation. We name this harm erotic …
Hermeneutic Labor
In recent years, feminist scholarship on emotional labor has proliferated. I identify a related but distinct form of care labor, hermeneutic labor.

I argue that hermeneutic labor disproportion…

Rape and Resistance by Linda Martín Alcoff
Reviewed by: Rape and Resistance by Linda Martín Alcoff Ellie Anderson (bio) Linda Martín Alcoff, Rape and Resistance Medford, MA: Polity Press, 2018; 269 pp. Concerns about sexual harms have burst into public view in recent years, culminating in the #MeToo movement. This movement is part of a resurgence of feminism that some are calling the fourth wave. Yet discourse about rape and other sexual violations within this movement has generally accep…
Sartre’s Affective Turn
Jean-Paul Sartre’s theory of “the look” has generally been understood as an argument for the impossibility of mutual recognition between consciousnesses. Being-looked-at reveals me as an object for the other, but I can never grasp this object that I am. I argue here that the chapter “The Look” in Being and Nothingness has been widely misunderstood, causing many to dismiss Sartre’s view unfairly. Like Hegel’s account of recognition, Sartre’s “look…
