Fucking Law
Book • 2019
Victoria Brooks draws on her doctoral research at a public nudist beach to critique the gendered and dualistic philosophical traditions that judge women's sexuality.
She interrogates how Western philosophy has shaped shame, objectification, and moral expectations around female sexual desire.
The book advocates for developing sexual ethics that are embodied, contextual, and authored by women themselves rather than inherited from a male-dominated canon.
Brooks combines ethnographic observation with philosophical analysis to propose frameworks that accommodate varied sexual experiences.
Her work aims to empower women to question normative moralities and form ethical approaches that prioritize safety, consent, and pleasure.
