This essay in book form was nearly banned in France merely because of the emphatic title. However, I Hate Men is not a book about why the author hates men. Not really. Instead, I Hate Men is a call for global female solidarity. Harmange puts forth that most women have spent their lives ingesting culture created by men. Why not better all of our lives by having women say "enough!" and begin to focus primarily on centering the creations of other women?
I appreciated a lot of Harmange's points and her unique, conversational tone. However, I ultimately felt that this essay was just a fresh spin on tried and true feminist ideas.

Very good book. I'll give 5 starts to support it.
It's time for women to allow themselves to be angry and stop catering to men's feelings. Feminism is a woman's struggle, where women are the protagonists. Men's emotions are secondary for once and they should get used to it.

This was a very interesting book to discuss in book club.
However, while it was a nice introduction to some elements of feminism, to me, this was nothing revolutionary. I felt like it often lacked depth and was just talking about things other feminists have discussed before, without adding anything new.
If you’re new to feminism, sure read this. Otherwise, you won’t miss out on much.
Still interested to read more of this author in the future.

I think this is a very strong piece that makes for an important read. I would say there are moments where it could have gone even deeper in its exploration, specifically of male violence towards women and how rampant it is. This being said, every single piece was poignant and informative. Highly recommend.
