Men Explain Things to Me by Rebecca Solnit

3.0

I read it in 2 hours. It's a good crash feminism book but as a poc/Arab feminist, I could not relate to it. It didn't talk of women of colour and our struggles. It completely ignored the whole notion of poc feminism which is a shame, because it's such a short book and it could have easily done that and gotten 4 stars out of me. It was such a white-cis-straight-woman-explaining-feminism book, which isn't a bad thing, but I got bored of that narrative. It's a nice refresher of information, of course, but otherwise, it was just a fast fun read for me.
And I really don't get why chapter 6 is included in the book.
I'd recommend it to that friend who is skeptical about why we need feminism in this day and age.
