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

informative reflective tense medium-paced

4.5

 I do have to say that it took me almost the whole month to read this book because I just couldn’t stomach reading much of it at once. I consider myself aware of the world I live in, I tend to keep myself informed about the “uglier” side of it, and I thought I would not be fazed by what I would read in this book. I was wrong! It seems that no matter how well informed I am, there is always something that will put everything that I know into perspective, that will help me to further my knowledge, and grow as a person.

This is a difficult book to read, it is one that will leave you feeling disgusted, mad, and helpless - if you're anything like me -, but I think that that is why more people need to read it!
