this wasn't so much insightful as it was affirming. I do wish Harmange approached her essay with less preachy anecdotes and a bit more formal evidence but nevertheless

3.5 while there were some ideas in here that I really loved and were explained really well, the lack of depth leaves something to be desired. I wish this was longer and more detailed because it was truly a beautiful essay. A great introduction to feminist ideas, I felt like things were said in here that woman are often afraid to say and I really appreciated that.

C'est la première fois que je lis une autrice féministe qui clame haut et fort ce qu'on n'ose pas dire sous peine de se faire engueuler ou pire... que les hommes, on les déteste. Et qu'on a bien raison.

Une lecture libératrice, comme un grand bol d'air et de déculpabilisation!

this was a bit of a let-down unfortunately :( i agree with another review i saw earlier that pointed out how this book just kept repeating already-uttered concepts and never really introduced something new. it also felt a bit...white (?) a consequence of the author being white, i'm sure. but yeah, this could've been way better.

Encuentro muy acertado cuando la autora dice que las mujeres también tienen derecho a demostrar emociones negativas al igual que la contraparte masculina, sin quedar como histéricas, locas, sensibles, etc. En este caso odiar a los hombres no es ningún delito al igual que por otro lado los hombres odian a las mujeres (véase la misoginia) también me gusta como diferencia el concepto de odio -odia el abuso, odia las actitudes, odia el distanciamiento, odia el menosprecio- con el de la violencia -femicidios, abuso se*ual, indiferencia emocional y laboral-.

Me parece interesante entender el contexto directo de la autora -oriunda de Francia- donde el 96% de las personas encarceladas por abuso doméstico son hombres y el 99% de ellos fueron por abusos sexuales. Claramente tener contacto constante sobre noticias,casos cercanos y la opinión masculina sobre aquello desencadena un odio hacia el género y la entiendo totalmente.

Es un ensayo muy fácil de entender y sus puntos se separan claramente en capítulos sobre temas específicos (hombres que odian a las mujeres, mediocre como un hombre blanco, histéricas y se*ualmente frustradas, entre otros títulos bien controversiales SLAY)
