Sexual violence is discussed multiple times throughout the book. Although most of the descriptions are not detailed, the sheer volume of mentions can be overwhelming and triggering. Topics covered include catcalling, rape statistics, anti-sodomy laws, rape as a tool of colonization, racist stereotypes of Black men wanting to rape white women and of Black women being hypersexual, sexual violence at the hands of law enforcement officers, rape in prison, LGBT people as both perpetrators and victims of sexual violence, rape apologia, and domestic violence.
