Kinsey's attic: the shocking story of how one man's sexual pathology changed the world

Reisman, Judith A.
Product description One of the most famous names associated with scientific research into human sexuality is Dr. Alfred Kinsey—often referred to positively as the "father of the sexual revolution"—whose work became the bedrock on which current social policy on sexual matters rests. In KINSEY'S ATTIC Judith Reisman counters the massive public affinity for Kinsey and his colleagues and sheds light on the lurid truth regarding his research and the negative effects it has had on American society. Indeed, this darker legacy of Kinsey's work has resulted in the return of Western culture practices to the practices of ancient sexual religious cults: the sexual abuse of women, pedophilia, ritual child sacrifice, sadism, bestiality, and numerous other perversions. Brought into public view are the Kinsey team's abuse of its research subjects, including infants, and the general climate of perversion that masked itself as scientific research. The sources of the ideology that guided his studies into sexuality are explored, leading to the conclusion that the research was DESIGNED to achieve predetermined ends: ending Western laws that favor women and children, in particular those pertaining to fornication, breach of promise, adultery, statutory rape, rape, obscenity, abortion, sex education, homicide, and sodomy. KINSEY'S ATTIC also investigates the effects of his research on our culture, exposing the societal, governmental, and religious organizations that seek to propagate Kinsey's ideology and identifying the individuals who champion it as enlightenment. Reisman also explains the effects of the various channels of mass media on the spread of the sexual revolution and the government's intentional manipulation of the research data that proves the devastating effects of Kinsean ideology on the culture at large. Readers will be astonished at the extent to which Kinsey's perversions have been able to subtly work their way into the accepted beliefs and practices of our culture. And they will be inspired to affirm and promote the core values of society that will ultimately restore respect for women, children, and the gift of human sexuality.

The good girl revolution: young rebels with self-esteem and high standards

Shalit, Wendy
Across the country, there’s a youth-led rebellion challenging the status quo. In Seattle and Pittsburgh, teenage girls protest against companies that sell sleazy clothing. Online, a nineteen-year-old describes her struggles with her mother, who she feels is pressuring her to lose her virginity. In a small town outside Philadelphia, an eleventh-grade girl, upset over a “dirty book” read aloud in English class, takes her case to the school board. These are not your mother’s rebels. Drawing on numerous studies and interviews, the brilliant Wendy Shalit makes the case that today’s virulent “bad girl” mindset truly oppresses young women. She reveals how the media, one’s peers, and even parents can undermine girls’ quests for their authentic selves, and explains what it means to break from the herd mentality and choose integrity over popularity. Written with sincerity and upbeat humor, The Good Girl Revolution rescues the good girl from the realm of mythology and old manners guides to show that today’ s version is the real rebel. Society may perceive the good girl as “mild,” but Shalit demonstrates that she is in fact the opposite. The new female role models are not “people pleasing” or repressed; they are outspoken and reclaiming their individuality. These empowering stories are sure to be an inspiration to teenagers and parents alike. Join the conversation at www.thegoodgirlrevolution.com
