Asking for It: The Alarming Rise of Rape Culture--And What We Can Do about It - Kate Harding

Descriere Asking for It: The Alarming Rise of Rape Culture--And What We Can Do about It - Kate Harding

\nIn 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. \nA timely and brilliant book. (Jessica Valenti) \n \nEvery seven minutes, someone in America commits a rape. And 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. \n \nIn 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 victims. From 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. \n\n
