sophtank's review against another edition

The way he spoke about Larry Nassar grossed me out but I decided to try and keep reading to see if this was a bad piece of an otherwise good book. I got to the portion on Brock Turner and had to quit. The book lacks a clear and concise message and waffles on and on. Sexual assault is handled callously. This is a complete ick from an author I thought I respected.

emberlesage's review against another edition

Really just couldn't get past the defense of rapists and shallow understanding of what respect is. Almost everything in this book up to where I finished will be triggering for several groups of people, and I didn't have to look him up to know the author was a cis white man because his take on most topics makes that clear, and not in a 'okay, that's you experience' way either. Won't be finishing.
