Okay y'all I'M SO MAD I HAVE SO MANY EMOTIONS OVER THIS BOOK
*insert saoirse ronan "women—" gif*
Words to describe this book:
- Men are trash
- Fuck the patriarchy
- Check your privilege
But also
- We can still do things to change this narrative
It was so hard to finish this book even though it definitely can be finished in one sitting. 5⭐ for its writing approach and stark presentation of hard facts to back up all claims and situations made in this book.
As a woman, it's harder to separate the bias from the subject matter. But regardless of culture and country, this is real. This book is real. It makes me rethink women in society and the roles we're all expected to play, and how overall we must all do better.
A hard pill to swallow, but a necessary one.
