Which is true. I'll have to read it again to see if he deals with that. There are criticisms of his work, to be sure. But from a female perspective, I feel like it's more important for women to feel empowered to speak up or walk away when they feel uncomfortable than be concerned that maybe they're being too conservative in a situation that is already setting off alarms. Not to put too fine a point on it, but it's like--would you rather be rude or dead? Which is overly reductive, but the thing is, sometimes you just don't know how something's going to spin out. You just don't. And a lot of women err on the side of politeness because they're afraid they're overreacting, and then any number of bad things happen because they didn't trust their instincts. That's all I'm saying.
