I might go back to it, but it’s just so damn depressing.

Essential reading for everyone at this point. A detailed and carefully researched account of what is happening below the surface to men on the internet.  It's dark and horrifying, but it must be acknowledged at this point.

Terrifying, fascinating, heartbreaking and powerful. Politicians, students, parents and all of humankind needs to be aware of what's happening and how to stop the violence against women by knowing where the hate and radicalization stems from. We need to do more to stop the violence against our girls, educate and support healthy understandings of relationships to our boys, and this book is the heavy explanation of just that.
