Why read it?
1 author picked Studies in Lechery as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Phoenix does something unique: alongside her lived story, she builds an irrefutable case for why "consensual" relationships between professors and students are inherently unethical.
Her examination of how adults over 18 remain neurologically underdeveloped, her analysis of obedience to authority dynamics, and her discussion of professors as "helping professionals" evading sexual boundary ethics struck at the heart of the problem.
Additionally, the university, in her case, did hold the accused accountable and created new policies that were modeled by other universities. That's what inspired me to file my own Title IX complaint, which led to the resignation of the accused.
From Julie's list on gender-based violence in higher education.
