It's been a while since I read this book, but it's lovely.
I read this book because since 2021 I've been kind of using a lens of war rape culture to frame racial capitalist patriarchy. Whether I'm doing that well is another matter I don't know how to test yet. -- Point being, in contrast to that I have "consent culture", and as I've been getting educated the past couple of years it's become apparent that I want to work with an abolitionist framework. So this book was awesome, and it read so much quicker than I thought it would. I love the data tables at the back that have the 4 questions along with the various strategies because I remember wanting more specifics about the (prison) abolitionist activism profiled in the anthology "captive genders".

It’s excellent information and feels like an opportunity to bring many small groups together for a much bigger fight. I learned a lot and was reminded of a lot I’ve learned previously. It’s pretty short and general and accessible for most interested in abolition and changing the world.
Minor: Hate crime, Racial slurs, Racism, Rape, Sexism, Lesbophobia, Colonisation, and Classism

This isn't a negative of the book but this is my first nonfiction reading that isn't for a class, and I'm just realizing all nonfiction books are very repetitive.
