Slaughter has always invested her considerable writing talents to unflinchingly writing about sexual assault and rape, and its victims and survivors, believing that such stories aren’t told enough, but After That Night felt like the zenith of those efforts. Indeed, Slaughter addresses the backlash to #MeToo, what can happen when toxic masculinity feeds upon itself, and of course, with care and precision, the ways in which survivors fight back against a system designed to thwart them.
