Controversy section
editThe argument that sexual harassment victims should slap their assailants is one made by a lawyer during a court hearing, not by Garner – and more to the point, one that she describes in quite negative terms (The First Stone, p.27), implying that it could only be made by a man who has never had to experience being on the receiving end of such a situation. So it's absolutely incorrect to say that this is one of the core arguments of the book, even if Garner's view is somewhat similar (that these matters would be better dealt with in the moment).
