Kathleen Barrys patriarchale Analyse ist ein unverzichtbares Standardwerk radikalfeministischer Literatur. Neben einer interessanten historischen Betrachtung, liefert Barry mit viel Weitblick wichtige Informationen über Prostitution und Pornographie und erläutert auch wo revolutionäres Potential liegt. Eine absolute Leseempfehlung.

Eltern, die in Vororten wohnen, warten vor der Schule oder an Bushaltestellen, um sicherzugehen, dass ihren Kindern auf dem Heimweg nichts passiert. Und Mütter erklären ihren Teenagertöchtern, warum sie nachts lieber nicht ausgehen sollen, obgleich ihre Brüder es tun. Sexueller Terrorismus ist für Frauen etwas geworden, womit sie leben müssen.”
