marcnash21stc 's review for:

Things Are Against Us by Lucy Ellmann
3.0

Read her fiction. It's far superior.

Justifiably angry (against the patriarchy, not just for its oppression of women & children, but animals & the planet), but lacks any incisiveness to hone any argument. It plays it for laughs in many places.

I agreed the **** out of 95% of this book. But I just didn't think it helps progress our cause one iota.

The one essay I really enjoyed, about teenage girls' "Wake up/ Make Up" Youtube channels, has no data or facts to back up wha i think are pertinent points. And then I remember Jarett Kobek already wrote about all this in [b:I Hate the Internet|27071393|I Hate the Internet|Jarett Kobek|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1444889709l/27071393._SX50_.jpg|47113709] in a much more entertaining and convincing way.
