Men Who Hate Women by Laura Bates
4.25
challenging dark informative inspiring sad slow-paced

My rating is a 4.25. 

Men who hate women is a very informative book that talks about how easy it is to become a part of incel culture and how that looks in our society. While we often view these men as jokes, the history of violence shows a completely different story. 

There was a point in my life where I felt insecure and thought I would be alone my whole life and it was so easy to blame women. I luckily went and found therapy and someone who showed me that it’s not women’s fault at all. But I could easily see in a different life me becoming one of these gross men. 

This book shows how easily it is to become a part of this culture and how ingrained into society these views sadly are. They even recently made a whole limited series called adolescence talking about out these very issues. 

There are parts that are hard to read as a victim of SA and someone who loves and respects women, hearing what people say about the author and women in general was just vile. You should read this if you want a better understanding of incel culture and how it affects our youth.
