Yeah, these women were definitely written by a man. The bi-erasure was a real disappointment. Will not be reading more from this series.

Ben sucks! He’s an awful dude and I don’t like him at all! Not an enjoyable read but definitely has some merit when studying internalized racism and micro-aggressions. Had to read for a class
