Although a few points were a bit outdated, overall I enjoyed reading th ebook and was surprised how modern the topics at hand (still :( ....) are...

The psychoanalysis part is a bit dry and difficult in my opinion, but other than that the book illustrates misogyny in a way that gives the feminist reader a feeling of schadenfreude. The book is very long and it took me all summer to finish it. A must read!

Simone De Beavuoir is clearly cooking with this one but it's so god damn dense and long that I would need to dedicate an entire year to this book to feel like I'm not cheating it of what it deserves.

Was tired just by reading the introduction by various people. Had to return the book within 3 weeks and my AF membership ends now and doesn't allow me to keep the book for much longer. Its quite an academic yet amusing book but still a bit academic. I think I might devote this time to other books instead of this right now.
