4.5 - you can tell that the author is a gender equality activist; she’s so passionate about these topics. Her chapters are so well written, you can tell she works hard to engage meaningfully with inclusive activism.
Same with the contributors - each chapter masterfully unpacks why popular statements/notions that appear benevolent or even helpful are often extremely harmful and/or offensive.
I really recommend that everyone reads this book - it’s downright depressing sometimes but too important to pass up. (the chapters on the police & the UK cost of living crisis are truly harrowing)

Awesome book, I really recommend it! Might keep it around in case a need a source or anything else really, it really feels like you can just read a chapter without context.
One small nitpick though: reading a book with chapter titles such as "boys will be boys" or "not all men" in big, bold letters in public really made me hope no one looked over my shoulder and think I was a biggot

Great book providing food for thought. A variety of topics are covered - misogyny, racism, politics, immigration, disability, gender and the intersectionality of these. The majority of the chapters are written by Gina Martin but there are also other contributors
I enjoyed the format of the chapters - primarily discussion/history based with a final section of questions/ approaches to use when discussing e.g. “Boys will be boys” or “I don’t do politics”
It’s definitely a book you can (need?) to come back to again and again for reference
