Reinventing Love: How the Patriarchy Sabotages Heterosexual Relations by Mona Chollet

informative fast-paced

3.25

Maybe it's the clunky translation, but this felt like an incredibly superficial understanding of how traditional gender roles impact our modern heterosexual romantic relationships. There's not a lot of deeper insight into "this is how men traditionally react in this situation and this is how women traditionally act", although the author raises valid points in several regards. The author also self-inserts herself into the narrative and her thoughts on specific things a little too much for my liking. It also references bell hooks enough that I felt like I should've just read bell hooks. 

Not bad if you're getting started on a deeper understanding of how traditional gender roles influence modern relationships, but other books provide deeper context for specific gender traditions.
