Reviews"[In] former PBS news producer Bravo's thoughtful book... she is not trying to establish blame or assign labels like victim, predator, or participant--she is instead looking for insights, acknowledging that everyone, men and women alike, suffers from the effects of toxic social conditioning. She digs deep...offer[ing] scenarios that will resonate with readers.... Her balanced and nuanced observations give readers much to think about." -- Booklist (starred review), "With anthropological precision, [Bravo] looks at how our obsession with work as a key part of our identity, cultural narratives, and our evolutionary need for connection can allow abuse to flourish." --The Cut, "Reah Bravo has written a brave book. It is brave not merely because it is honest, but because it declines to make its case via tired political rhetoric. Instead, Bravo employs blunt self-awareness and rigorous scholarly research when interrogating her experiences (and our moment). The result is a text that imbues #MeToo-era discourse with a fresh voice." --Kate Bolick, author of the New York Times bestselling Spinster: Making a Life of One's Own

SynopsisA thoroughly researched and deeply personal examination of how we unintentionally condone sexual misconduct and other workplace abuses., "A brave book...that imbues #MeToo-era discourse with a fresh voice" (Kate Bolick, New York Times bestselling author), this is a thoroughly researched and deeply personal examination of how women unintentionally condone workplace abuse and what we can do to change things for the better. When Reah Bravo began working at the Charlie Rose show, the open secret of Rose's conduct towards women didn't deter her from pursuing a position she thought could launch her career in broadcast journalism. She considered herself more than capable of handling any unprofessional behavior that might come her way. But she soon learned a devastating truth: we don't always react to abusive situations as we imagine we will. When we live in a society where many feminist ideals are mainstream and women hold positions of power, how is it possible that sexual misconduct remains prevalent? When many employers mandate trainings to prevent harassment of all kinds, why is workplace abuse still so rampant? Weaving her own experience with those of other women and insights from experts, Bravo reveals the psychological and cultural forces that make us all enablers of a sexist and dangerous status quo. "At a critical time in the ongoing fight for gender and racial justice, Bravo has written an empathic and concise book that will inspire the next generation of voices courageous enough to rage against the machine" (Rebecca Carroll, author of Surviving the White Gaze ).
