    Very Impt for Women to Read

    This books gives amazing insight and theory to the act of rape. I felt as though I gained a sack of knowledge from this reading. I have changed my opinion regarding rape. I am thankful for this interesting look at the conditioning of young girls and the power trip all men possess. I understand the game. Every woman should have this on her nightstand next to her weapon of choice to defend her body.
