madelinequinnee's review against another edition
5.0
This is a rather heavy book, with discussions around sexual assault, murder and harassment, but I think it’s incredibly important to read if you feel you can handle those topics. The author uses a mixture of her own experiences, interviews with other victims, academics and activists, and her own research into the world of online misogyny to create a concise discussion about sexism and what the world can do to tackle it.

It’s something I was aware of throughout recent years, terms like “incel” and “manosphere” have popped up in memes/tiktoks but the size of the groups mentioned and the real life examples threw me off. To see how many mass shootings and other heinous crimes can be directly linked back to the ideology of these groups is shocking, saying how little you hear the word misogyny used in a serious, non-mocking way in the media. (Usually paired with jabs at “feminazis” and groups that are trying to HELP MEN😒)
STRONGLY encourage anyone who spends a decent amount of their lives online (and on any form of social media) to read this. Even if you’re a bit older and feel like you have a grasp on how to interpret content/news/facts online.
One thing that I will say (not necessarily a complaint or a mistake) but when checking the Notes at the back of the book for references on certain facts a lot of the time it would be news articles. Nothing really wrong with that except that throughout the book it is said how the media is quick to jump to conclusions when they haven’t done much research. I’m guessing Bates has looked into each sources thoroughly. Maybe it’s my own preconceptions that make me pause before referencing Channel 4 in a debate?
