Short summary

What's it about?

After twenty-five years in social justice movements, Dean Spade reveals a hard truth: our intimate relationships often sabotage the resistance work we desperately need. This book exposes three toxic cultural scripts, the Romance Myth, Disposability Culture, and Enmeshment, that isolate us and undermine collective liberation. Spade offers a radical alternative: "revolutionary promiscuity," building dense webs of care that distribute support across many relationships instead of demanding one person be our everything.
