Definitely the most interesting book I've read this year. I'm sure this is going to be the next feminist book I bully everyone into reading.

I  really liked this. It was thought provoking, lots to chew on regarding language, bias and sexism, with some discussion points on changing it.

I loved reading Cultish and was eager to come back and read Montell's other book, especially given the subject matter. She did not disappoint, and I ended up being asked to confront some of my own internalized sexism around language and the way women talk. 

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.
