"But boys will be boys, our favorite phrase that excuses so many things, while the only thing we have for the opposite gender is women, said with disdain and punctuated with an eye roll". 
 Such.An.Important.Book. 
 The Female of the Species by Mindy McGinnis deals with very important issues such as rape and slut-shaming, which are very prevalent in our society today. Hooked from page one, this book is told by three strong voices and is often times funny with dark humour, but never did the style of writing detracts from the disturbing issues at hand. It alleviated them instead. 
 I'm not for vigilantes, but when the targets are rapists and child molesters, no part of me feels remorse. Why shouldn't they be tortured? Why are some methods considered inhumane when they have consciously committed one of the worst crimes of human kind? Victims (if they survive) live with the pain, trauma, and other residual effects for the rest of their lives. Even if the perpetrators are convicted, I still think it's not a fair trade. 
 When committers of sexual assaults ALL OVER THE WORLD only get slaps on the wrist (or sometimes nothing at all - looking at you, Trump) for their heinous crimes, and victim blaming is still rampant, this book couldn't come at a much better time. It doesn't matter what you wear, or how you look, or where you are - no means no. A must read for 2016, let's all get educated together because my God, you know our country and the whole world still needs to be.
