Chapter 6: How to Confuse a Catcaller, is one of the most powerful, validating chapters I’ve ever read. It discusses how men’s mistreatment of women stems from a lack of empathy, and the ways women feel voiceless in many situations.

i like how montell continually gives an overview of a particular topic before delving into its history, evolution thruout the yrs, the discourse thats and has been around it, and eventually focusing on present usage and possible future changes. it's an effective approach bc only when one knows the root cause can they fully approach dismantling or challenging it.
this book also finally gives word to whats been knocking in my own head for many yrs: linguistics and gender! and i couldnt help nodding tf off in agreement so often while reading. while a lot of montell's observations and analysis are nothing groundbreaking, her act of comprising all the bits and pieces in one place and comprehensively verbalizing them are very reaffirming and validating. and the new info i did learn makes me reflect on my own complicity, shedding new light on long-held views, and i rly appreciate that.
