I assume Alissa Nutting's message with the book is a feminist one, showing that women and men can be equally depraved. Although the tone of the book indicates a sly self-awareness, tempting the reader to ponder if Nutting takes some glee in knowing that Price and many women can hide their culpability behind their gender. But I'm just a girl uWu, not a predator. Where men are naturally seen as aggressors, women are seen as submissive and lacking autonomy. As goes the patriarchy I suppose. This patriarchal, binary view of justice alleviates women of mens rea. Behind all great men, including those who achieved great evil, are great women... so it's really his fault cause I'm just a girl <3
It's a good book, but the message is tiresome to me and I imagine to anyone else exhausted by overvaluation of gender in most every interaction we have. Plus I do think 'Lolita' is seen as most to be pro-child sexual abuse, so whenever you try to bring it up in conversation, you'll spend 5-15 minutes explaining how the book doesn't actively encourage people to molest kids to some one who has totally read the book (/s). So it's nice to have an alternative book, with a similar message to avoid the stupidity of dishonest people.
