c'est un livre très court (moins de 100 pages), que je conseillerai aux personnes avec encore peu de connaissances/avis/idées sur le feminisme. après ça reste assez simple, le + radical c'est le titre, et c'est très binaire. l'intersectionnalité est très vite fait évoquée mais pas du tout approfondie, donc pour les personnes qui veulent découvrir le féminisme avec ce livre jvous invite fortement à lire aussi des livres écrits par des personnes sexisées racisées, LGBT+,....
globalement ça m'a rien appris pcq ça gratte juste la surface mais c'est facile à lire et ça peut probablement apporter des pistes de réflexion intéressantes aux personnes pas encore bcp renseignées sur le féminisme !

This book isn't extremely profound - as the author acknowledges in the afterword - but it is a great introduction into misandry. I first read this book last year, digitally, and have been meaning to pick up a physical copy. Hopefully, I can now make my friends actually read this!

A nice pamphlet. A good starting point into feminist thought. Pretty revolutionary under French feminist standards. Full of very quotable sentences.

Women revendicating their anger is still perceived as a threat when in fact it should be seen as the most natural thing there is. Don’t you see why we are angry? The backlash against this anger, against our desire to occupy more space cannot be justified in any way unless you ignore the reality completely. WOMEN’S ANGER DOES NOT EQUAL MEN’S VIOLENCE SIMPLY BECAUSE OUR ANGER DOES NOT KILL MEN.
I did not learn anything new from this essay but I felt heard and seen. Pauline places great importance on the idea of women having each other’s back, women helping and uplifting each other, women forming a mass of solidarity that cannot be silenced.
Another important aspect would be that it’s high time for men to educate themselves on feminist issues. As Pauline says, the burden is always on women in a heterosexual relationship and that is draining and unfair. Many passages made by think of « Le mythe de la virilité » by Olivia Gazalé where the concept of (toxic) masculinity is deconstructed in a brilliant way.
I recommend this one. It’s short and it might fuel your desire to read more feminist publications if you are not doing it already.
