I'm Afraid of Men by Vivek Shraya
5.0
A beautiful and deeply vulnerable memoir that will ask you to confront your biases, privilege, and thoughts on gender. Her words will challenge you to look at what happens when fear takes the lead.
“I’ve always been disturbed by this transition, by the reality that often the only way to capture someone’s attention and to encourage them to recognize their own internal biases and to work to alter them is to confront them with sensational stories of suffering. Why is my humanity only seen or cared about when I share the ways in which I have been victimized and violated?”
