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

5.0

This book is absolutely amazing! Her range of topics that are covered answer numerous questions and expand many thoughts on the prevalent rape culture in America. I whole-heartedly agree that this book should be taught in schools across the U.S. and at home as well. This message needs to get out to the public that the issue is not just a women's problem but a societal one as a whole. Boys need to be taught better on how to behave towards others more so then girls being told on countless ways on how to prevent themselves from getting raped! The justice system also needs to change to stop victimizing the victims as well has educating communities against shaming victims. I love the way she discusses the topic instead of lecturing casual readers. Definitely a must read!
