the fact that this reads so naturally as if its just her ranting even though it was written over many years just shows how talented she is. at times hilarious in its parody of freud (among other things) at times really validating. lots of good ideas but the homophobia and the fact thats shes a terf were off putting. cool that she shot andy warhol

After having reflected on this book for a whole few hours, I decided to give it 4 stars instead of 3. Because although I simply refuse to speak about the whole patriarchy yada-yada, isn’t it pretty incredible that this book is still alive and well? What if the genders were reversed..? And yeah there’s a lot of pretty wild misogynistic literature out there, but if you know of any “failed abortion” type of ramblings directed towards women (not the incelly stuff from the internet, but an actual, okayish-written book/article) please let me know.

''dişi olmamasını telafi etme takıntısı, ilişkilenme ve merhamet duyma konusundaki acziyle birleşeneril, dünyayı bir bok yığını haline getirmiştir. savaşve fuhuş bunlardan ikisidir. ''
2017 yılına bu kitapla başlamak çok iyi bir fikirdi.
