A very comprehensive introduction to the topic. However, I am already pretty familiar so this book didn’t really do anything new. I think this is much more helpful and relevant to people who are not in the same
online spaces as I am (YouTube directly critiquing the YouTube she talks about). I wish it focused more on how the radicalization happens and how to counteract it rather than just what the radicalization looks like.

It’s so disheartening to see how these issues are covered in the mainstream- and in a lot of cases, not covered.
The final few chapters examining how younger generations are indoctrinated and how we handle that, was both worrying but also hopeful. We need to be taking a more interventionist approach to misogyny, rather than tackling problems after it’s too late.
Social media companies definitely need to be held accountable for the role they have played in the proliferation of anti-women rhetoric. Radicalisation has never been so easy.

This is a very informative book about a topic that is often not discussed, the manosphere. It is not an easy read, but it is important to educate yourself. Take your time, and take space while you read this.

Well researched and written, but difficult to get through purely because it’s so painfully honest. I wish there had been more of a guide to overcome this, but as the author states, it’s not up to one person/thing to fix this.
