Bates explores the growing movement of misogynist men. She examines, in depth, the different communities, from incels to men's rights activists, unaligned trolls, high profile politicians and everything in between.
She argues that extreme misogyny is an entry point for other extremist movements, as well as a terrorist movement in its own right. She pushes for authorities to take the threat of these groups seriously to prevent violence. She also calls for us to offer young boys and men compassion and communication to help steer them from falling in too deep with these movements.
What I liked:
Bates fully explores the differences and similarities between all of these different groups. She clearly lays out how they interact and empower one another.
She makes clear arguments with a lot of evidence to back her claims up. She writes with passion and hope for the future, making the issue out to be urgent but not unsolvable.
What I disliked:
Bates frames the misogyny of these men as very one dimensional. She touches only briefly on the fact that misogyny affects women differently across different identities. I would have liked for her to go more in depth into the nuances of how trans women, bi and gay women, and women of color are treated differently by extreme misogynists. It feels foolish to speak mostly in generals without ever diving fully into the specifics.
