4.5, really--only a half taken off because the last chapter doesn't really acknowledge the young alt-right movement happening in the US & makes some assumptions about millennials that aren't really true. But overall this is required reading for cis men and strongly recommended for everyone else.

informative medium-paced
SJ book club. Read during quarantine 2020. Appreciated the memoir interwoven with research. I wished for more discussion of the role of religion, but I guess that wasn't his experience.
