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

5.0

I was intrigued by the title and cover art. But the content of the book made me love it even more. Harding does a wonderful job explaining and dissecting real-life stories involving rape, sexual abuse, and assault. For those who still don't know what "rape culture" actually means or believes it doesn't exist. This book will challenge you. It would make you wonder whether you unknowingly participated in rape culture. I also love how Harding recognizes intersections black women face in our patriarchal society.
