7/2/2023 0 Comments Asking for It by Kate Harding![]() ![]() ![]() Combining in-depth research with practical knowledge, Asking for It makes the case that twenty-first-century America - where it's estimated that out of every one hundred rapes only five result in felony convictions - supports rapists more effectively than victims. In Asking for It, Kate Harding answers those questions in the same blunt, no-nonsense voice that has made her a powerhouse feminist blogger. But what, exactly, is it? And how do we change it? Noted blogger and author Kate Harding's provocative, sharp, and yes, funny book tackles rape culture and also offers some suggestions for moving toward a culture that fully respects and supports victims while protecting the rights of the accused.Äominique Strauss-Kahn's arrest, Congressman Todd Akin's ''legitimate'' gaffe, the alleged rape crew of Steubenville, Ohio - sexual violence has been so prominent in recent years that the feminist term rape culture has finally entered the mainstream. Asking for It is the first nonacademic, single-author book since the 1990s to examine sexual assault as a social phenomenon. ![]()
