Summary

It's time to rethink rape. Centuries of different approaches to rape as inflicted by men on women have got us nowhere.

Rape statistics remain intractable: one woman in five will experience sexual violence. Very few rapes find their way into court. The crucial issue is consent, thought by some to be easy to establish and by others impossible. Sexual assault does not diminish; relations between the sexes do not improve; litigation balloons.

In On Rape Germaine Greer argues there has to be a better way.

Excellent weaving together of a picture we must look at

Brilliantly read. So engaged & engaging.

This slippery eel that Germaine not only grasps but turns over and examines in exquisite detail, this most peculiar habit and devastating failure of our systems!

Germaine draws out the sparkling silks. She is a nimble ninja spinning a web, look she says, look.

And look at how things really could and just ought be.

We have to have an idea of what we are aiming for and what we might all recover from.

For the sexiest conclusion of wise consent,
A true sum for all, in all truth; it is ours to reason why.

Germaine’s lush capacity for love of her species is a very beautiful hope filled meticulous river-deep labour, if we just take a little time to actually listen to what she actually says.
It is her eagle eye scope and power of reflection with which she shows the way, to how heaven is here on earth. All this is possible!
Less.
is so much much more than…

Good objective overview

An interesting read that looks at all aspects of rape, full of facts which include research to back them up. In common with many women this has happened in my life, so that wider perspective and knowledge is of interest. I liked the attitude of the author.
