Whoa. I have so many thoughts about this book, some of which can be found in this post: https://www.instagram.com/p/CxllWBeL-TT/.

What I would find really interesting is how different people perceive this book because I feel like how you see it says more about you than the book itself. How would a misogynist read it? A woman* who has internalised sexism but doesn't yet know about it? A feminist woman*, a feminist cis man?
