Overall a very informative book on incels, PUAs,  and the MRM. I knew very little about these communities before listening to this audiobook and, as a woman, it was incredibly enlightening. However, I believe the author does an excellent job at not creating a festering of hatred towards the men that participate in these communities—instead there is psychology offered behind why these communities exist. I hope that none see this book as a means to create a hatred or distrust towards men, instead it shows the way that toxic masculinity hurts everyone in society—including men.

A great book for everyone to be familiar with so that genuine movements toward eradicating misogyny can happen for the benefit of everyone!

Honestly, this was a hard book to get through; not because it was poorly written or anything, but because of the subject matter. I definitely recommend going into it with quite a bit of resilience and maybe even have a second, more lighthearted book on the go at the same time to break up the heaviness.
I'm glad I read this book.

nugenmak000's review

I plan to pick up this book later when I'm in a stringer mental headspace. This book is dark and covers the different layers of the manosphere and their groups. It covered misogyny and crimes against women/general hate of women. It also mentioned manifestos of crazed misogynistic murderers like Elliot Rogers. This book is overall very heavy and difficult to read.

Amazing book and incredibly eye opening. Hard to read sometimes because of the emotions I felt but I think this is a book that everyone should read atleast once, especially men. Highlighting these issues hat we as women and half of the population face is extremely difficult but I feel that Laura did an amazing job. I've definitely been motivated to spread this information to others and do my best to educate men around me in order to prevent as much as possible their becoming of incels. I cannot stress enough how educational this book has been. Will definitely reread.
