Pages : 166
Book Description
We often find ourselves making choices in life, not thoroughly considering the consequences that could follow or maybe you are like me and you find yourself "doing the right thing" because that's what society dictates should happen--pushing pieces of your life into place, whether or not they fit. Ian was a piece of the puzzle that had the right shape, sides, and color but didn't quite fit. I didn't see it coming, the choices, the sex, the gun, none of it. Yet here we are, choosing to live in a world of uncertainty. Playing it safe has never gotten me anywhere, and I'm ready to give in to the recklessness of life. Join me. Won't you?

Caged Eyes
Author: Lynn K. Hall
Publisher: Beacon Press
ISBN: 0807089338
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
An insider’s account of misogyny and rape in the US military and her extraordinary path to recovery and activism Desperate to realize her childhood dream of being an astronaut, Lynn K. Hall was an enthusiastic young cadet. For Hall, the military offered an escape from her chaotic home—her erratic mother, absent biological father, and a man she called “dad” who sexually abused her. Resolute and committed to the Air Force Academy, Hall survived the ordeals of a first-year cadet: intense hazing from upperclassmen, grueling physical training, and demanding coursework. But she’s dismissed from the Academy when, after being raped by an upperclassman and contracting herpes, she is diagnosed with meningitis and left with chronic and debilitating pain. Betrayed by the Academy and overcome with shame, Hall candidly recounts her loss of self, the dissociation from her body and the forfeiture of her individuality as a result of the military’s demands and her perpetrator’s abuse. Forced to leave the military and return to the civilian world, Hall turns to extreme sports to cope with and overcome PTSD and chronic pain. She, in turn, reclaims herself on the mountain trails of the Colorado Rockies. An intimate account of grappling with shame and a misogynistic culture that condones rape and blames victims, Caged Eyes is also a transformative story of how it’s possible to help yourself and others in the aftermath of a profound injustice.

Invisible and unknown, shush … they are coming for me Again, to touch me and make me do things.

Pages : 226
Book Description
Gender equality should be top of the agenda of discourse on human affairs. There is no rhyme nor reason for the status of women to be languishing below the male ranking. The ‘weaker sex’ label must cease forthwith. Women are strong, resilient and always unbowed. Moreover, women conceive and populate our world with all the talents the human race celebrates from time to time. Women deserve to be ululated and rewarded. The current status demeans women and denies the human race the chance to scale the heights it has the potential to scale!
