Overall i really liked this book. Helps out a lot with discussions of intersectionality & it reminded of the discourse i was in back when i was 2. That being said I'm aromantic so, some of it goes over my head.
Like some of the media discussions had questions that have since been resolved. For example by saying sex worker instead of prostitute we can more easily tell that Madonna was never independent.
Chapter 5 pissed me off though because not only are we not given the text she wrote that got her in trouble with her comrades, but we then hear her talk about needing to be open when it's like Stalin didn't go to Nazi Germany to give a speech because that invitation was unsafe & deadly.
