In what is to follow, this reaction paper will deconstruct and discuss the reading Feminist Framework Plus: Knitting Feminist Theories of Rape Etiology Into a Comprehensive Model, written by Beverly A. McPhail (2015). The foremost intention of McPhail’s work was to present a holistic feminist centered framework, which she believed would more accurately capture the reality and experience of rape.

The gendered realities existing amidst…
