Men Who Hate Women by Laura Bates

5.0

It took me almost a month to get through this because of how cynical it made me feel at times, but this was such a necessary read. Bates dissects a different group of misogynistic extremists in each chapter, going undercover online to infiltrate the forums of incels, pick-up artists, male supremacists/separatists, and others. The amount of research done for this book was incredible, and I appreciate how she included the perspectives and experiences of a relatively diverse group of people. Bates' argument that extreme misogyny should be categorized as a form of extremism was something I had never heard of before; I feel like I learned so much from her book. This will definitely be a book I won't be able to stop thinking about.
