I read about a third of the book before I had to stop. It’s deeply depressing and disturbing to learn just how bad the manosphere is. The book is well written and researched, and I’ll return to it someday. I know it’ll be a 5 star read for me…but I simply can’t finish it now.

On a positive, the little I did read inspired me to take a self defense course and start more regular jiujitsu training, as well as other self defense tactics. We must protect ourselves, because the amount of men who think they “deserve” to r*pe and k*ll us is disturbing. Protect yourself, always.

Unfortunately the people who should read this book the most never will. I wish every father read this book. 

Nothing here was new to me, but I enjoyed the piece on rhetoric. I do think it was a bit repetitive, but if this is new to you it would be valuable.

Trochę brakowało mi historyczno- politycznego kontekstu opisywanych zjawisk.

This book made me feel such a pit in my stomach but it’s SUCH an important read. It’s a privilege to choose NOT to read it because it may “make you uncomfortable”
