Читать книгу Unsportsmanlike Conduct - Jessica Luther - Страница 8

This is a book about college football and sexual violence. There’s nothing easy about what lies ahead in the following pages. I will not sanitize descriptions of violence, and violence is what this book is about. It’s a kind of violence that is all around us all the time, that affects so many people, often repeatedly throughout their lives. This is a warning then for those who might be triggered by descriptions of sexual violence or interpersonal violence. If you turn back now, get to a point in the book and put it down to never return, skim over large chunks, or read it in short, manageable pieces, then you will, in some way, mirror my own process of writing this. Dealing so directly with this kind of everyday violence that we are constantly forced to make sense of is hard emotional work. Reading this will be that too.

It’s worth it, though. Because we need to have this conversation and we need to be honest when we do it.
