Any Man by Amber Tamblyn | The StoryGraph Any Man by Amber Tamblyn | The StoryGraph

any man is an incisive, poetic, and brutal account of sexual trauma (both individual and collective) and its aftermath. it's about an unknown serial rapist named maude, and several of the men whom she hurts. maude herself is a mysterious figure, because her individual motivations are less important than the toxic rape culture which plagues survivors. Maude is a faceless void. You literally know nothing about her, except that she could be any woman who walks into a bar. Any woman you pass on the street. Any woman you ride in an elevator with. 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.” It’s ironic that this character would then go on to be raped and have feminists rally around him, even though he's spent years demonizing them. It's the difference between living your life with actual principles and living your life based on hatred. The story is a mosaic of voices, of men who are assaulted by a serial rapist—a female serial rapist. Tamblyn uses this less common story, of men being the victims of assault, to examine how we as a society, through conversations, through the news, through social media, think and talk about sexual assault. She flips the more common script on its head and with it creates a powerful and evocative story. She holds up a mirror to our world and forces the reader to take a long, hard look.And can we talk about Maude's last two victims? By introducing Sebastian White - an outspoken, ultra-conservative gay pundit clearly modeled after Milo Yiannopoulos - Tamblyn challenges us to have compassion for all victims, even those who are unlikable and, let's face it, overtly hostile to Tamblyn's intended audience. Meanwhile, Michael Parker serves as a reminder that we must be inclusive in our feminism, and take trans and genderqueer folks as they are. While the media insists in misgendering Michael, make no mistake: he was a man, no matter the gender assigned or name given him at birth. Maude seemed to accept this; do you really want to be less progressive than a serial rapist? Tamblyn, Amber (August 30, 2009). "Amber Tamblyn: Confessions of a Child Star".

This is the story of five men, all of whom have been the victim of an anonymous serial rapist known as Maude. It is the story of how the media handles rape, and how society handles rape. How we speak about it, how we shame, how we lay blame. It’s about the questions we ask, how we ask them and the assumptions we make. How we try to make ourselves feel more comfortable in the presence of someone else’s trauma. How the survivors grapple with their new reality, and their upended perception of themselves, their relationships, their bodies and the world around them.

"Amber Tamblyn To Join Bob Odenkirk In 'Girlfriend's Day' ". Deadline Hollywood. Let me be emphatically clear - They. Don't. Care. About. Us. People who live through sexual assault are a crash on the side of the road and the American media is nothing more than cars slowing down just long enough to take a peak, just long enough to take a picture before speeding off to their next fatality. A country that says 'Innocent until proven guilty' even though the proving of assault is nearly impossible. Tell me how you prove coercion? How you prove the difference between being hit on and being hunted? How you prove your arms were held down? Your body was touched? Your life was threatened if you ever told anyone? For people who have suffered violent sexual crimes, proof—the very act of proving—is more than just a burden. It is boundless bearing. An eternity of futility.” the audiobook, narrated by a full cast, is superbly done. i had to pause and take a breather because i was absolutely enraged by the section that's a transcript of a talk show discussing the validity of male rape. the portrayal of rape culture is infuriatingly believable. exploitative sensationalist media does so much harm, often under the guise of "news" or raising awareness.

The Drums Inside Your Chest Movie Trailer w/Amber Tamblyn". Archived from the original on April 16, 2016 – via YouTube. What each of these characters have in common is that they are victims of sexual assault, and they are men. A haunting serial rapist is on the loose, who goes by the name Maude. She preys on men, at bars, online, at parties, as they live the aftermath of their assault in the form of doubt from the police, feelings of shame, and disgust from their family and friends. All the while, the media hound the victims and publicly dissect the details of their assault. What is remarkable is how each of these men band together, and it is by voicing their stories that they find strength and a way forward. An explosive, shapeshifting piece of literary real estate, Amber Tamblyn’s arresting debut offers a scathing portrait of American celebrity culture and the way in which it transmutes human tragedy into a vicious circus; victims are forgotten as likes and shares swirl, and ‘news’ becomes a squalid orgy, a lurid feast. Tamblyn takes every risk in this astonishing and innovative work, and succeeds, gloriously.”
