The Sexual Organization of the City
• Gender Studies
The 1990s sexuality survey produced by sociologists at the University of Chicago has often been doubted and disputed. The results have been published as The Sexual Organization of the City. They still think that married normality equals erotic happiness.
Katha Pollitt, a feminist columnist for The Nation who wrote somewhat skeptically about the 1994 report, is dubious about the argument that cohabitation is more volatile than state-sanctioned pairing. "Do we know that there is more domestic violence in Chicago today than 100 years ago, or 50 years ago, when Americans were more `invested' in marriage?" she asks.
