Ugh, rape culture!

Yeah, it’s still a thing. We’re still teaching girls self-defense and telling women to walk in pairs at night. We’re still pretending that they greatest threat to women is from strangers, not from her spouse, boyfriend, father, brother, uncle, friend, teacher, coach, or neighour.

In this video, shot at my local indie bookstore, I reflect on rape culture and its debilitating effect on women; how it turns our supportiveness sour.

Read my latest novel, Sister Seen, Sister Heard, and consider steps towards positive cultural change.
