I'm glad I listened to the abridged version - I don't think I'd have the attention span or interest for the full book, but there were interesting sections here. The examples/scenarios are definitely dated, but some of the case studies did help drive home specific points: when to listen to your gut, how to explicitly say no, why it's better to ignore or cut contact than engaging (because even saying "don't contact me" is furthering contact). Essentially, it boils down to "figure out what your instinct is, then listen to it."
Moderate: Misogyny, Panic attacks/disorders, Rape, Sexual assault, Violence, and Stalking
