Men Who Hate Women by Laura Bates
4.0
Unfortunately this is my house so none of the info was new and since the book is five years old, quite a bit outdated. I think a lot of these pipelines are still functioning, but the actors have changed quite a lot (I think Bates would get a kick out of Andrew Tate). The internet moves quickly.
That said, I really appreciated the passion that came across in the writing. Bates is not interested in softening her message and I liked how directly she dismantled some of the more petty retorts.
I was a little on edge the whole time (as I usually am with feminist pieces) if trans women were going to be addressed in any way. I don't think they were directly, but I didn't spot any terf rhetoric and the author always used LGBT (as opposed to LGB) and there were some nods to racial intersectionality. The book was overall focused on the different man-centered communities and how they encourage violence against women as a whole.
