Danae Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 (edited) A Michigan Law Review review of Pride and Prejudice. Relevant to several current threads. Don't skip the footnotes. Quote Pride and Prejudice is one of the most beloved romance novels of all time and needs very little introduction. For those who need a refresher on the plot, Pride and Prejudice details the community-wide damage that can be laid at the feet of serial sexual predators. It details the characteristics of predators, discusses the systemic social failures that allow predators to abuse others, and grapples with difficult questions of how communities should deal with those predators.

ericathemom Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Incredibly well written! Especially the use of "goobers" in footnote 2. 😘 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drjuliadc Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Very funny and well thought out, ironically funny, just like Jane’s writing. I enjoyed the insightful romp back through my favorite book. I was slightly dismayed at the dark view, but she called a spade a spade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawyer&Mom Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Courtney Milan was a law clerk for the notorious Judge Alex Kozinski. She is brilliant and very funny, but her criticisms of the judiciary and their handling of predators is unfortunately based on personal experience. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courtney_Milan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
