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!

Short and sweet. This is a great way to look into the mind of what some might call a 'radical' feminist. You might be surprised by how un-radical the book is. I don't think much of this will be new for the average woman who has taken time to contemplate society and men. But it's nice to see it vocalized and defended.

This essay in book form was nearly banned in France merely because of the emphatic title. However, I Hate Men is not a book about why the author hates men. Not really. Instead, I Hate Men is a call for global female solidarity. Harmange puts forth that most women have spent their lives ingesting culture created by men. Why not better all of our lives by having women say "enough!" and begin to focus primarily on centering the creations of other women?

I appreciated a lot of Harmange's points and her unique, conversational tone. However, I ultimately felt that this essay was just a fresh spin on tried and true feminist ideas.

Loved the first half of the book but disconnected from the second. The author touched on how heterosexuality impacts women and a misandrist journey but doesn’t delve into WLW relationships with misandry which felt odd since bisexuality/lesbianism was mentioned elsewhere. Left me wanting to find this perspective elsewhere.

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