challenging dark emotional informative sad medium-paced

5.0

 The fact that this book needs to exist is disturbing and revolting. This one hit a lot of boxes for me lately. I've been increasingly concerned about raising boys in a world where the Manosphere is becoming more and more mainstream. At the same time I've been devouring articles and books on sociology, feminism, and new media (bonus where all three intersect). This book is graphic at times and holds nothing back. Bates does an excellent job of exploring horrifying content without leaving the reader feeling utterly bleak. I'd recommend this one.

bri_14's review against another edition

It’s a lot of jargon that makes it hard for me to read through as quickly as other genres. Also some of the authors tidbits and sarcasm in parenthesis make an already long chapter even longer. I don’t mind a personalized touch but it’s frustrating when you already account for a longer book. I wish that chapters would have been shortened some. 

Also at times it read like a research paper—not opposed but not what I expected either. I did like how the chapters were broken up to describe each type of person, it helped show the variety in the topic. This is my second Dnf bc I could feel the slump coming along but it really isnt a bad book just slower paced

4.0

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It is definitely one that had to be read in small chunks. This book was extremely informed and real but definitely hard to stomach at times. If you have any desire to grow in your understanding of extreme misogyny and its foundations, this is the book to read. 

As somebody who works with college aged men, this book was super informative to some casual comments and underlying sentiments I encounter. If you work with young  and men in any capacity, I highly recommend this book.
