This book analyses rape culture through the lens of the me too era. Drawing feminist theory into conversation with peace studies and improvisation theory, it advocates for peace- building opportunities to transform culture and for the improvisatory resources of culture- jamming as a mechanism to dismantle rape culture. The books key argument is that cultural attitudes and behaviours can be shifted through the introduction of disrupting narratives, so each chapter ends with a culture- jammed re- telling of a traditional fairy tale. Chapter 1 traces an overlap of feminist theory and peace studies, arguing that rape culture is most fruitfully understood through the concept of structural violence. Chapter 2 investigates the gender scripts that rape culture produces, considering a female counterpart to the concept of toxic masculinity: complicit femininity. Chapter 3 offers analysis of non- consensual sex and a history of consent education, culminating in an argument that we need to move beyond consent to conceptualise a robust respectful mutuality. Chapter 4 s history of sexual harassment in the workplace and the rise of #metoo argues that its global manifestations are a powerful peace- building initiative. Chapter 5 situates me too within a culture- jamming history, using improvisation theory to show how this movements potential can shape cultural reconstruction. This is a provocative and interventionist addition to feminist theory scholarship and is suitable for researchers and students in womens and gender studies, feminist theory, sociology and peace studies.
