jedeming's review against another edition

I got tired of listening to the narrator's blatant dislike of women, callous descriptions of violence towards animals, and racist/colonialist views about the group of people he was studying. From the books description, the colonialism is the main point, but on top of the other complaints I decided I didn't want to listen to 10 more hours just to get to a possible thesis of "colonialism is bad".
