Such an important read! I thought I was pretty up-to-date on this topic, but I still learned so much. It can be difficult to read through, so I suggest a chapter at a time to allow the content to settle.

This book has major trigger warning's for Misogyny, Sexism, Rape, and Sexual Assault and was incredibly hard hitting and graphic.  This book puts what is collectively known as the  manosphere under a microscope. I had heard nothing about this before reading, and I defiantly have learnt a lot. Bates explores various different groups of men who hate on women, the most prominent being Incels, which have influenced other male hate groups over time. This book was sad and shocking as to how much these hate groups impact on life, their views trickling into the main stream media and Television. There was also a really good discussion about social media and the use of algorithms and how this often leads quickly to far-right misogynistic views.

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.

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

Bates proves her mastery of not just informational writing, but also presenting her knowledge to her audience in a cohesive and understandable way. She used excellent metaphors, referenced very reliable sources, and connected her idea brilliantly.
