Men Who Hate Women by Laura Bates
informative
sad
medium-paced
5.0
A really well researched and well written book about the different types of men who hate women, why they hate women, and how it harms everyone.
At times this book was hard to read, I mean, it’s really fucking depressing to hear all of the ways men want to harm us and hate us. It was especially upsetting to learn that the younger generation is buying into this narrative at increasing rates because of how easy this ideology can spread online.
That being said, I’m really happy Laura didn’t shy away or play down the ugly truth of the situation, even if it’s not what we want to hear. Really important work.
