This book was cringey at the many ways it absolutely stated in no uncertain ways, that consent isn't required or even needed. It's a shame because if I took a marker and crossed out the creepy parts, it wouldn't have been half bad. But they're there, telling women it's okay to take advantage of a woman being drunk to coerce her into sex or that you shouldn't respect someone if they say no or leave me alone. Just ew.
