This is an incredibly informative and important book that i recommend everyone reads. Bates offers an accessible and gripping look into the world of misogyny and sexism, especially in online spaces, that shows all the ways in which the world still often times turns a blind eye or even unactively supports misogyny. 

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.

The book was extremely powerful and insightful. My copy is filled with notes and highlighted paragraphs. This book was my introduction to Laura Bates and will be something I will re-read many more times. 
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.

Livre très intéressant, parle d'un sujet que je connaissais pas assez mais la structure rend la lecture assez fastidieuse (+ de 6 mois) parce que les arguments sont pas organisés de manière répétitive dans leur structure. Les arguments sont très bien justifiés ( ou démontés) et des propositions sont apportées pour changer la société. Peut être compliqué à lire parce que la violence des zhoms est citée telle quelle.
