Ce court essai brûle d'un féminisme retentissant. Il est malheureux qu'affirmer sa misandrie (sa haine des hommes) ait attiré tant de haine à son autrice alors que la misogynie (la haine des femmes) s'affiche sans vergogne partout. Pauline Harmange commence par un constat aussi nécessaire que douloureux : non, la misandrie n'est pas simplement l'inverse de la misogynie, tout simplement parce que la seconde est soutenue par un système complet ancré dans les mœurs et les institutions. A partir de là, difficile de faire autre chose que de hocher la tête au rythme des courts chapitres qui dessinent les contours de haine qui s'exprime rarement mais dans le silence de laquelle se déploie un vaste réseau de sororités.
CW : étant donné le sujet, il est souvent (voire constamment) question de sexisme et de violences sexistes et sexuelles.

Not as radical as the title led me to believe, but still has good points (even if I’ve heard them many times before)

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 was a very interesting book to discuss in book club.
However, while it was a nice introduction to some elements of feminism, to me, this was nothing revolutionary. I felt like it often lacked depth and was just talking about things other feminists have discussed before, without adding anything new.
If you’re new to feminism, sure read this. Otherwise, you won’t miss out on much.
Still interested to read more of this author in the future.
