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

4.0

Outstanding. While "rape culture" has recently become part of the lexicon, it risks becoming something of a catchall term. Kate Harding does us the service of tracing exactly what aspects of pop culture, social mores, and our legal system play into the tacit assumption that rape victims somehow deserved their fate. This is a witty, angry, passionate book, and it boasts one of the best discussions of consent I've read.
