Shallow and pedantic,

This review is from: Passing By: Gender and Public Harassment (Paperback)
This is not the best book about public harassment. Gardner focuses too much on categorizing the various forms of harassment out there, and it just becomes a long-winded piece about that. It forgets all the other nuances of public harassment, and there is no focus on the dispositions that cause men to infringe on womens' rights to be left alone. It has a very static narrative that leaves one's eyes to glaze over after a few minutes. Moreover, most of the testimonies is set in Indianapolis, which is honestly not the best place to study harassment. It is a commuter city, and women who live here do not experience the same kind of intense harassment, since they can just drive back and forth--unlike cities like New York or Washington D.C. where the urban experience does not allow you to actually escape harassment.This book was just not enjoyable or enlightening.
