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

As someone who's pretty open to wondering the why's of + challenging many of the 'dominant' orders in modern societies this helped sharpen into focus some topics that I hadn't considered in as much depth before and helped challenge some of my preconceptions also.
I did wish some of the essays from the main author were honed down a bit, but it was still written engagingly enough to pass through the occasional parts that felt repetitive.
The prompts for discussion were a great addition and for some of the essays I wished that had been expanded upon. These parts felt more useful than any of the stats; because a lot of the conversations around these topics are likely be driven by emotion and questioning the roots of thought (or lack of) behind it is more likely to open someone's mind than firing numbers at them.
Overall recommend and will refer back to.
