Do good reviews and high ratings sell books? Probably! If you read and enjoyed THE SHITBIRD, please take a moment to rate and/ or review it at Amazon, Goodreads, or elsewhere. It won’t take long, and it does help with visibility. Thank you so much! 🙏

Recommending Chanel Miller’s incredible memoir Know My Name about when she was raped at Stanford and how much the system there tried to blame her and avoid consequences, like Cornell. It’s a very powerful book.

Everything about Cornell is horrifyingly familiar, and cyclical, because the powerful men saying “we didn’t want ruin these boys lives” are the same kind of bad men whose lives the bad men before them didn’t want to ruin, on and on ad infinitum

If you ask a room of college graduates if they know someone who was raped in college, every single person would need to raise their hand. Some of us know more than one. I walked in Take Back the Night marches on my campus in the 1990s. In all these years, women have never taken back the night.

I think this Cornell rape should be causing every man in the country to be asking himself what actions he has ever taken to prevent & put an end to sexual assault, rape culture, & misogyny in general. In my experience, most men I know have done precious little to confront this societal sickness.
