Two female characters (one an adult and one in middle school) discuss their experiences of being told to dress modestly so as not to attract male attention, and how what they wore did not make a difference as to whether they got harassed or not. No explicit details are given. A high school student flirts with a new student on her first day, and refuses to back off when she declines his advances, physically intimidating her in the cafeteria. Two other students intervene so the girl can slip away. A main character's mother is slut-shamed and disparaged, both by teens and other adults, for dressing in revealing clothing and working as a bartender in a strip club, and her son's classmates sometimes mock him about it.
