Men Who Hate Women by Laura Bates
5.0
I had a significant understanding of the manosphere for several years before picking this up this book but still learned a lot and got a chance to entertain new perspectives. I listened to the audiobook as read by the author as well as the bonus interview at the end and found the writing and narration absolutely stellar.
The author's central thesis is to take the online radicalisation of misogynists seriously, to take the men who commit murders because of their explicit (stated in manifestos) hatred of women as terrorism, etc. I really appreciate the author's bravery in shedding light on how persvasive the rise of these extreme beliefs are, as well as her nuanced perspectives on what can be done. What was most unique about this book was her interviews with deradicalized men and boys as well as with men who are actively fighting the dangerous ideas and promoting healthier masculinity. I highly recommend this book to both men and women, regardless of how much you know about incels, pick up artists, mgtow, etc...
