If you are a queer woman, put this book DOWN. Read Cunt instead. I take huge issue with her disclaimer at the front of the book - that this is for all women. It. Is. Not. If she had just said up front that her book is for straight women, I would give it 4 stars. Instead, all of the “your man” “your husband” “his pleasure” just felt oppressive. False advertising does not uplift the queer pussy, Mama Gina.

I wanted to like this book, but I honestly couldn’t get past her choice of the word pussy throughout the entire book. She even explained why she used the word the way she did, but the language just felt off-putting and alienating. She also desperately needed the services of an editor, as she would repeat herself several times in the same chapter. This was basically a book about a woman who really loves her own pussy, but there was very little in this book that felt like practical information for the reader (that, apparently, was what her first two books were about, and so it was largely omitted here). This book was one big not-so-humble-brag about her life and her work.

This book was a real “take what resonates and leave what doesn’t” situation.
Portions of it were more memoir-ish than I expected, and I found most of those passages unnecessary.
The book is very hetero-centric and I felt it made lots of very generous excuses for men and their roles in upholding patriarchal values, even going so far as to say that the gender pay gap is actually women’s fault because we “accept less”.
Overall, I mostly enjoyed it and gained some really valuable insight from it, but about 50% of it just didn’t resonate with me.

I really enjoyed this book. It might seem too direct or too harsh for some people, but I think the author was brave and really bold to put out this material. I think every woman needs it, but she needs to be ready to read this book.
I really loved ir because it reminded that I am powerful and that the power is inside me and that as a woman I am more intuitive and I can listen to my inner gps. I highly recommend this to all the women that wants to live their life being authentic and unapologetically themselves.

I couldn’t take Pussy seriously because its content felt shallow and performative rather than genuinely empowering. Instead of offering thoughtful insights or meaningful reflections, it relied heavily on vague affirmations and exaggerated claims. The tone often bordered on self-congratulatory, making it difficult to connect with or respect the message. Overall, it came off more like a marketing pitch than a sincere exploration of self-worth or empowerment.

It was a little woo-woo for me, but there are definitely ideas that made me think.
