Jon Ronson Is Getting His Own Public Shaming Over A Line Cut From His Book

Ronson, author of the new book So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed, was criticized Monday when a line in a galley of his book comparing women’s fear of rape to men’s fear of getting fired circulated online.

Through shamees who became accidental case-studies like Justine Sacco and Jonah Lehrer, Ronson digs into what the cycle of experiencing massive shame looks like, and, moreover, how it can transform normal people into shells of themselves.
