I'm Afraid of Men by Vivek Shraya

challenging emotional hopeful inspiring fast-paced

4.0

A short but very powerful read. Vivek Shraya describes experiences she has had with men throughout her life and how they have/might have affected her. She gives interesting perspectives on gender and masculinity. I especially found interesting the good/bad denominators we use for men and how it impacts what we find acceptable or inacceptable behaviour. Also an important aspect of her experience was being a queer person of colour.
The only thing that could’ve been better in this book is the organisation of the parts/chapters. It jumps between different timelines and that makes it a bit confusing. 

Overall I’d really recommend reading this.
