challenging reflective medium-paced

I don’t tend to give non-fiction books star ratings but I did find this book extremely thought provoking and would recommend for people to read it to have their ideas challenged. This is a book I really want to read again, especially the chapters on rape because Despentes put forth ideas that I’ve never really seen to be discussed in this way. The writing style is very direct and forthright, some paragraphs remind me of Valerie Solanas especially in the way that gender is discussed.

Livre hyper interessant, le style d’écriture est cinglant, ça fait beaucoup réfléchir mais le livre aborde des thèmes difficiles !
