A review by caiterate
Wordslut: A Feminist Guide to Taking Back the English Language by Amanda Montell

informative medium-paced

3.5

had a whole chapter about queer language. the author made the claim that lesbians dont have a history of special language to signal to each other and that its not documented. couldnt be more wrong about that, very disappointing. she was careful to highlight that a lot of slang came from aave and queer latinx communities, which i feel is very important to remind/inform people. overall this was a lot less thorough then i would have liked. though it gave a pretty good overview of the importance of how we use language.
