Pretty traumatizing, but important to know. Be warned, the lefttube videos you watched in 2017 on this topic only scratched the surface of the vile stuff. Has extensive examples and research. She doesn't shy away from showing the really bad stuff. She basically follows the chain from the darkest places of the internet to "normal" people and shows how the ideas/misogyny spreads

This book is incredible and really informative on the online world of the manosphere. I think parents of teenage boys or teachers would find this book particularly useful. Lots of content warnings but I think it was important not to censor the language in this case.

This book is very important to read, but it is also very hard to read. Literally TWs for everything imaginable, Bates does not hold back.

Took me a while to read because I needed to take mental health breaks. It was so hard to read about the horrific men in this book. But I would recommend it to everyone, especially your male partners and sons! 
.25 knocked off because it was a little long in some places where it repeated a bit

A frightening read, but an important one, and I really appreciated how compassionate Bates was able to be throughout this, despite the difficult subject material and the suffering she has undergone herself at the hands of some of the individuals mentioned. This was really well balanced and well put together, really well structured and the scope was great. Really recommend.
