I had to read this kind of slowly to keep my blood from getting too angried up (I have no idea how she managed to write this without having a fatal Rage Stroke, but props to her), but it's fantastic. I've loved Kate Harding's short form essays and articles and this is a great macro look at rape culture. She's great at sharply cutting through bullshit with a sense of humor amidst the bleakness, and in demonstrating how things are linked.
