Book Description:

Richard examines popular culture's fixation on representing young women as predators and prey and the implication that violence especially sexual violence is an inevitable, perhaps even celebrated, part of a woman's maturity. To underscore the threat of these depictions, Oliver locates their manifestation of violent sex in the growing prevalence of campus rape, the valorization of woman's lack of consent, and the new urgency to implement affirmative consent apps and policies.
