Synopsis

Subjectified is a book about subjects, objects, and verbs. It is also a book about clothing-optional resorts, masturbation circles, and sex parties.

Suzannah Weiss takes the listener through her adventures as a sex and relationship writer to explore how we can create a world with less objectification and more subjectification—placing women and other marginalized groups in the subject role of sentences and actions. Offering a deeply personal critique of sexual empowerment movements, Weiss presents a way forward that focuses on what women desire, not what men desire from them. Subjectified calls for women everywhere to inhabit their bodies and hearts—to look through their own eyes and speak as "I."

The book is for everybody wanting to understand themselves as subjects. Wholeheartedly, the author invites you to follow her search for subjecthood and, should you desire, forge your own path out of objecthood.

There was definitely lots of interesting and good points, but for someone who has read plenty of feminist and sex positive books, there was nothing groundbreaking or new for me. The constant repetition of the words subject & object got a bit annoying sometimes and it was hard to stay focused on what......more

Goodreads review by agnes on October 22, 2024

I initially picked up this book to help heal my wounded relationship with my sexuality and sexual expression, but I realized very quickly into this book that it was healing so much more than that for me. This book has completely helped me realize my wounds extended to my relationship with my gender,......more

Goodreads review by Andrew on October 25, 2024

The book started very strong with messages that really made me think and even sparked some conversations with my wife. The book also ended pretty strong, again providing thought-provoking concepts. Unfortunately the middle of it was a bit all over the place and provided views that I don't really agr......more
