An infuriating but important book. I particularly appreciate the sections that discuss intersectionality, to truly fix the system we must address classism, racism, climate justice, poverty etc as well as the patriarchy. A must read for everyone.

Outraging, but necessary. A good and profound introduction to systemic misogyny. A book that'll make you look differently at the world, which is vital now. Because only then change is possible. For us and future generations.
The systemic misogyny and discrimination against women, transwomen, women of colour and all non-male identifying people is unbelievable. Being aware of how deep rooted it is in our society is not something that brings me joy to say the least. But it’s so so important to be conscious of what is happening around us, with us, against us. Because only by being aware can we move forward. Can we acknowledge where misogyny  and just pure violence is happening, because it's so much more than you would ever imagine. It’s everywhere and we’re so used to it, so brought up with it, by it, that sometimes we’re not even aware anymore (or I wasn’t). And seeing it so blatantly exposed everywhere is terrifying.
