The book's main arguments gave me a lot to chew on and made me realize that I need to re-examine the ways I view and enjoy media and its many portrayals of women, especially since I enjoy horror and horror-related and adjacent entertainment. I'm reminded that as much as l would like to see myself as progressive, there is, and probably will always be, certain embedded mental frameworks and beliefs that I need to constantly re-evaluate because I'm still very much within a system that actively seeks to subjugate women.

This was the first purely feminist nonfiction I’ve read and I really liked it! I loved using horror media to explore femininity, sexism and the patriarchy. I’ll have to reread it with a highlighter in hand!
