Towards human rights compliance in Australian prisons

Abstract

perhaps she does too good of a job at carefully parsing the various axioms, premises, arguments and counter arguments of various feminist tendencies throughout the work, such that what we end up desiring is for her to keep attending to nuances in perpetuity. Srinivasan’s critique of consent as a blunt tool demonstrates that human rights discourse cannot capture the complexity of the politics of desire. While there is no right to sex, this does not preclude desire from the realm of public debate. With her incisive contribution, Srinivasan raises a number of thought-provoking questions that leave us with the productive discomfort of knowing that when it comes to sex, there are no easy choices: desire just isn’t that simple.
