And I think that a lot of the narratives calibrate around those things because they're easy to understand. And now we can lock them up and we've gotten rid of the problem. Like it enables the way of thinking that you don't look at it as the status quo. You don't think about it as a sort of structural problem, sort of implicit to our sex, like our relations between men and women.

And I think like recognizing the ordinariness requires that we kind of have to like radically restructure everything about our sexual politics, our sexual experience.

It's a question I raise in the book that I still feel like I struggle with a lot. You know, someone like the French novelist Virginie Despont writes about this kind of in the context of sex work. And she's like, you know, sex workers are always having to account for ourselves. We... have sex work narratives, but you rarely have testimony from Johns, right?

Like, clients aren't running around saying, like, I pay for sex and here's why I do it. But, you know, sex workers are constantly asked to, you know, justify why they do the work, what that work looks like, etc., And so I was sort of, I guess, extrapolating from there where the idea is that the story of rape also has to sort of emerge from the person who has been raped.

And like the entire onus of testimony is on that person. And it does feel like an imbalance. But, you know, I think the thing that I struggled with that I write about is like, well, do we really need to be platforming rapists at this particular political moment? It feels weird.

quite frightening to be at the dawn of this administration and to see the ways in which someone like Nick Fuentes saying, your body, my choice, like this is something that is very bald. It feels unfair to demand that victims constantly account for ourselves and constantly offer our stories to the world.

There is something that can, I think, be quite dangerous about that, that we're under this responsibility to offer, say, the worst things that happened to us up to the world for scrutiny. I don't know what the solution is. I dream of rehabilitative justice, but I don't exactly always know what that looks like in practice.
