Asking For It
The book Asking For It by author Kate Harding and is about the rise of rape culture and how the victim rarely has that much support and gets blamed for what has happened to them. Rape culture is how society today is normalizing sexual assault and rape. The book brings up a bunch of different stories about individuals who have been raped and even the author talks about her own story when she was raped on her college campus leaving a party in the last chapter. It talks about the different politics and laws that involve rape and it talks about how women aren't the only victims and that men always can be too. The book brings up topics such as, the seven rape myths, safety tips, things to do to try and avoid/prevent being raped, how bystanders don't say anything to help, false accusations, how some police officers don't take rape victims as seriously as they should, internet trolls joking about rape, celebrities writing songs about it, about the politics in rape, abortion, date rape, gray rape, rape laws, campus rape, how times has changed more since time as gone and how the victim doesn't get that much protection. Harding covers almost every aspect of rape and everything involving it. This book is a very good book to keep yourself and others educated since everyone should know whats going on in the world and recognize that this is a big issue not just in America, but all over the world.
