I picked it up in the verso book sale over new years.
What I really liked about it is that it traces how the west has conceptualized rape through history putting everything into context.
There is a chapter specifically about men and in there a sub chapter that basically covers toxic masculinity. One thing is how we have internalized rape in the west makes us see men’s bodies and male physical contact as inherently sexual. I’d be happy to go back and re read it so I could explain it better if you’re interested! :::
