On various podcast episodes, Perry recommended and discussed several books touching upon culture, feminism, and relationships. She cited Mary Harrington's Feminism against Progress to summarize her thoughts on why the sexual revolution is being reassessed. She recommended Gavin de Becker's The Gift of Fear to discuss how women's instincts help them detect dangerous situations, and she mentioned Tom Holland's Dominion to explain how Christianity shaped modern views on consent and power as well as the historical roots of sexual ethics and the Me Too movement.
