(Jessica Valenti) Every seven minutes someone in America commits a rape. And whether that's a football star beloved celebrity elected official member of the clergy or just an average Joe (or Joanna) there's probably a community eager to make excuses for that person. In Asking for It Kate Harding combines in - depth research with a frank no - holds - barred voice to make the case that twenty - first - century America supports rapists more effectively than it supports victims. From institutional failures in higher education to real - world examples of rape culture Harding offers ideas and suggestions for how we as a society can take sexual violence much more seriously without compromising the rights of the accused.
