This book is incredibly strong because it lays the facts out for you to look at and leaves it there. I think depending on the reader this could be hit or miss, but regardless I think it’s an incredibly effective way of showcasing the very insidious ways that misogyny often takes. I think for women this might be a bit exhausting to read but for men this should be required reading.
