I'm Afraid of Men by Vivek Shraya

emotional informative reflective medium-paced

4.25

I’m Afraid of Men was simultaneously easy to read, and incredibly difficult to read. The words and the sentences were easy and conversational but the message they contained? The impact of toxic masculinity, entrenched gender roles, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia and more? That was difficult to read, to consider just how much pain, stress, anxiety and fear one person has borne as a result of faulty social constructs and the thoughtlessness and deliberate hurtfulness of others. A slim, accessible and important read.
