Brotherfollows a teenager determined to break from his family’s unconventional—and deeply disturbing—traditions. In 2005, Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing published her debut book of poems, written between the ages of 11 and 21, entitled Free Stallion. The School Library Journal 's review states that, " Free Stallion is a compilation of poetry that amounts to a portrait of the artist as a teenager... Many of the selections are appropriately self-absorbed but move beyond journalistic catharsis to real insight and stunning language for one so young." [22] Poet Laureate Lawrence Ferlinghetti called the book, "A fine, fruitful gestation of throbbingly nascent sexuality, awakened in young new language." [23] In 2008, she was featured in the Write Bloody Publishing anthology, The Last American Valentine: Illustrated Poems to Seduce and Destroy. [24] Unfortunately, this is one of those books that will preach to the choir. The people who REALLY NEED to read this won't be interested in it. But I'm going to do my best to push it on everyone I can henceforth! one thing i find odd is the inclusion of a trans man who is a victim of maude, but whose story is glossed over. we discover via tweets that he survives her assault and later kills himself. he is the only survivor who never tells any part of his story firsthand. i definitely see the value of including some discussion of transphobia within rape culture, but why is this character the least fleshed out of all?She describes the molded-plastic gloves her physical therapist made for both arms, ones which would immobilize her thumbs, so she could no longer type. At six months’ pregnant, she lay down, still, and wrote the rest of the book in her head. “It was a form of torture,” she says, shaking her head. We hear ALL the time how a woman shouldn't have worn that short skirt or dressed herself up like that if she didn't want the attention. How she was just asking for it. In this novel, we hear about how he shouldn't have gotten drunk at the bar while his wife was at home with the kids. What was he thinking? STOP VICTIMIZING THE VICTIMS FURTHER. How many of you think men CAN'T get raped? Why do we, as a society, blame the victim, use them as the story of the day and then toss them aside when something more horrifying comes alone? Despite the popular admonitions - that women's shouldn't go out alone, or late at night, or drinking, etc. etc. etc. - a minority of assaults follow this stranger-in-an-alley narrative. More likely, women and men are assaulted by people they know: their boyfriends and husbands, their friends and acquaintances, police officers and priests, and on and on. And these are also the accounts that are least likely to believed. If an assailant could be anyone, even someone you know and love and trust, are any of us truly safe? (Plus, there's the whole presumption that women are sexually available until we can prove to the public's satisfaction that we are not, so. But I digress.) This is, far and away, the only book I have read in literally a decade that has made me this emotional and awe-inspired. Amber Tamblyn's Dark Sparkler: An unsettling meditation on early fame".

Any Man by Amber Tamblyn | Goodreads

I shouldn't make a scene, I was blowing it out of proportion, this wasn't a big deal, he wasn't hurting me, I'd be able to get off the bus soon, it was my fault, I shouldn't have worn a dress to work that day, what would I even tell a cop?When I first read the synopsis for Any Man, I was skeptical. Best case scenario, I thought it might be a well-meaning - but ultimately doomed - attempt to foster empathy for survivors of rape by switching up the genders: making the perpetrator a woman, and her victims men. I say doomed because, let's face it: the same misogynist stereotypes that blame and shame women also silence male victims. If women are the weaker sex, how frail must a man be to be physically overpowered by a woman? How can a woman "rape" a man when intercourse hinges on his arousal? (Assuming a pretty narrow definition of rape or sexual assault, this.) If men are DTF 24/7, how can one possibly be raped? And so on and so forth. Warning for anyone unaware - this is extremely triggering content. I had to set the book down at least a dozen times and walk away. It messed me up in more ways than one. But it's also one of the most stunningly written and expertly told b It’s the reality of our culture,” she says. “I saw an article titled something like, ‘Celebrity Tweets React to Anthony Bourdain’s Suicide.’ There’s something about social media that keeps us trapped, and it trains people like myself who are in positions of privilege and power to know that all I have to do is tweet out my thoughts and prayers, and I’ll get this many retweets, and I’ve done my work.”
