Pickpick

Merely stating this is a good book is such a disservice. The subject, rape on a college campus, is so difficult to read, but necessary for those of us who want policies and bias to change. It will give you some of these emotions: outrage, pity, disbelief and hope. This is such a well researched and well written book, something we‘ve come to expect from this author. As a date rape survivor, I expected to read this in pieces.

Samplergal I blew through this yesterday because of the author‘s sensitivity to the subject. His epilogue indicates he was clueless prior to this research. It‘s graphic when the court cases are described, however, it might be what we need to hear to make the change that is needed. Post~Kavanaugh we are in need of education about this epidemic. Pick this up and spread the knowledge. It will likely trigger some, but healing sometimes comes in knowledge. ❤️ 6y
vkois88 It definitely hit me hard. I was unable to finish it. I'll pick it up again someday, as you're right... it is an important message that needs to be spread. Just not the right time for me. 6y
MyNamesParadise I listened to the audiobook either last year or 2017 and it was difficult to get through at times because I listened while driving/commuting to work, but it is very important and makes me so mad what DeVos is doing to overturn title 9 protections and how it‘s always about protecting the male. I know it happens in all states but knowing how Red Montana is certainly doesn‘t give me much hope for change there. 6y

Samplergal @MyNamesParadise It starts with parents. Raise your boys to respect girls and women. #ERANow 6y
Samplergal @vkois88 I get that. I could not have done this through the Kavanaugh hearings. Now I‘m ready to fight again. I really think I‘m going to start volunteering for a rape crisis center. Raise your boys to respect women. 6y
vkois88 That would be amazing! You're a strong person, and wonderful for wanting to do so ❤ 6y
Freespirit Sounds like a must read. Thanks for sharing the book and your story 6y
