In the era of #metoo, a clear-eyed, sharp look at rape culture, sexual assault, harassment and violence against women--and what we can do about it. "A timely and brilliant book." (Jessica Valenti)
Every seven minutes, someone in America commits a rapeAnd whether that''s a football star, beloved celebrity, elected official, member of the clergy, or just an average Joe (or Joanna), there''s probably a community eager to make excuses for that person.
In
Asking for It, Kate Harding combines in-depth research with a frank, no-holds-barred voice to make the case that twenty-first-century America supports rapists more effectively than it supports victimsFrom institutional failures in higher education to real-world examples of rape culture, Harding offers ideas and suggestions for how we, as a society, can take sexual violence much more seriously without compromising the rights of the accused.
