A complaint I have about this book is that it could have used more intersectionality in addressing how these hatred movements affects those in the LGBTQIA+ community, whether they identify as women or not. In my opinion, hatred of femininity is a big contributor toward homophobia and hatred of those who live outside of typical gender expectations. The book also centers heavily on western experiences, only occasionally and briefly touching on experiences of people outside of the global west. It would have been nice to get a little more on non-western experiences.

This is a rather heavy book, with discussions around sexual assault, murder and harassment, but I think it’s incredibly important to read if you feel you can handle those topics. The author uses a mixture of her own experiences, interviews with other victims, academics and activists, and her own research into the world of online misogyny to create a concise discussion about sexism and what the world can do to tackle it.

Each chapter examines different extremist groups (Incels, MGTOW, PUA, and MRA). It goes into detail how politics and poor journalism/media coverage downplays the power these groups have. It covers how boys can sucked into these groups and ways of thinking and how to we can prevent/stop it. Laura Bates covers misogyny in what she calls the "manosphere" and how it acts as a spider web, catching prey and brainwashing young men to spew hate and recruit others, while the ones at the top get rich off of the hate. This book also looks into the physical acts of violence seen in countries such as the U.S.A., UK, and Australia.
I cannot recommend this book enough to both women and men.

This book is not for the weak, I had to put it down several times and switch to something more cheery. I'm glad I read it and will re-read it in the future. Take care while reading this book.vallhund's review against another edition
