There's another bit further on where her writing says that "It is all very well for powerful women in the media to assert new clichés about female sexual potency, but harder for the wannabes and lookalikes to live these on the streets. For the majority of women move in a world where it is not so easy to draw a line between provoking men to drool and getting something more unwelcome."
It was almost a relief. Because the rest of the chapter kind of skirts around victim-blaming (uh-oh, said the v word!) and when she finally comes out and says it at least there's a point for the rage.
