Men Who Hate Women by Laura Bates

challenging dark hopeful informative reflective medium-paced

4.5

This is an accessible if sometimes intense description of misogynistic online spaces. Bates' arguments and proposed action steps are interesting. My only quibble is that I would have appreciated a little more theorizing about structural issues/causes.

challenging dark emotional informative sad medium-paced

5.0

 The fact that this book needs to exist is disturbing and revolting. This one hit a lot of boxes for me lately. I've been increasingly concerned about raising boys in a world where the Manosphere is becoming more and more mainstream. At the same time I've been devouring articles and books on sociology, feminism, and new media (bonus where all three intersect). This book is graphic at times and holds nothing back. Bates does an excellent job of exploring horrifying content without leaving the reader feeling utterly bleak. I'd recommend this one.

bri_14's review against another edition

It’s a lot of jargon that makes it hard for me to read through as quickly as other genres. Also some of the authors tidbits and sarcasm in parenthesis make an already long chapter even longer. I don’t mind a personalized touch but it’s frustrating when you already account for a longer book. I wish that chapters would have been shortened some. 

Also at times it read like a research paper—not opposed but not what I expected either. I did like how the chapters were broken up to describe each type of person, it helped show the variety in the topic. This is my second Dnf bc I could feel the slump coming along but it really isnt a bad book just slower paced
