Description
The author references the following throughout the book: low conviction rates for rapists, Trump's declaration that Mexican immigrants to the United States are rapists, Obama's opinion that child rapists should be executed, racist fears that Black men would rape white women, and Willie Horton's rape and murder of a woman while he was on work furlough from prison.
The author generally discusses rape in the abstract, as opposed to detailing specific acts of rape.
