Summary

How did date rape shift from a "shockingly frequentoutrage," as Newsweek once called it, to a controversy over "crying rape," as New York Magazine later labeled it? Academy award-winning screenwriter Callie Khouri (Thelma & Louise) guides us through complicated intersections of gender, sex, power and violence, while Susan Faludi, bell hooks, and others expose this shift as a classic case of media "backlash" against women's autonomy
