The Case Against the Sexual Revolution is a book by British journalist Louise Perry, published by Polity, which comments on sex in the twenty-first century.

[4] Perry draws upon her experience of working in a rape crisis centre to argue that liberal feminism minimises the sex differences, resulting in an unwillingness to consider what women can do to reduce the risk of sexual assault in a desire to avoid victim blaming.

[1]: 16  The epilogue, Listen to your mother, argues that individuals behaviour can act against incentive structures and offers advice for young women, including: distrusting ideologies that disagree with naive morality, arguing in favour of chivalry; that it is sometimes possible to identify sexually aggressive men by personality traits; advising women to avoid men who are aroused by violence, that consent workshops have little value; avoiding being intoxicated in mixed groups; avoiding dating apps; delaying sex in relationships for a few months; only having relationships with men who you think would be a good father, as a judgment of character; and, that monogamous marriage is the best basis for child rearing.

Perry contrasts the Google/James Damore affair with the Eton College/Will Knowland controversies, saying that she agrees with Damore's analysis that sex differences in psychology may contribute to gender disparity but that Knowland's views on sex differences were at times untrue and showed a lack of understanding of feminism.

[1]: 205 In the eighth and final chapter, "Marriage Is Good", Perry argues that while lifelong monogamy is not common in most cultures, it is valuable because it "tames" men by forcing them to become respectful to obtain sexual relations.

She feels that in considering gender differences in psychology, Perry is too much in favour of biological explanations rather than social factors, given the work of psychologists like Cordelia Fine.

Hinsliff concludes that the book considers longstanding tensions between freedom and safety, and pleasure and shame in the context of the current time, and addresses the gap between "online" feminism and the actual thoughts, feelings and behaviour of women in private.
