The introduction was a bit much. The book as a whole is not well planned. It lacks a style. It is not grammatically perfect. It is a bit of mess with no central argument.

And yet. It is a book every single person should read.

The comment on the native american man being “protected by his minority status” really rubbed me the wrong way but other than that, it led to a lot of reflection on how to talk about this - unfortunately - very common thing.

i am so glad this book exists! it balances being both academic and emotional. very global. gives me a real jumping off point to learn more while also addressing or even just acknowledging the questions and paradoxes that come with this issue. i would recommend to everyone

Loved the subject matter and the way Abdulali handles the complex maze of conversations around rape. Starting out, I had hoped this wouldn't be another one of those books of one victim's account of a sexual assault, and it wasn't. Well researched qnd thorough.
