Ofcourse there intersections that could've been investigated deeper but I think on a whole the book does justice in an intersectional way. Where she couldn't bring in her own experience/expertise, she asked another expert or checked many sources. As a young disabled white queer woman I saw experiences validated, even painfully so at times.
Even though most of the boo 's research and content was about England/Great Britain, it nearly mimics my experiences in the Netherlands. Though I would love a similar book specificly about the Netherlands, as some of the daily discrimination people face may be more covert here.
Laura inspired to maybe, just maybe, write that book myself. Or at least try and see if I can do some research in my own feeld, communication linguistics. I can think of a few subjects but one of them is see if there are more negatively loaded words for women than man in a (Dutch) dictionary.

It mentions a lot of things that could trigger people, especially those that have dealt with heavy institutional discrimination. It's heavy stuff, take your time with it.ashaturnerr's review against another edition

Although I preferred Misogynation (simply because it's longer and more in-depth), I found this book similarly engaging. Reading this made me angry at how mistreated women are in schools, universities, workplaces, and other other structural organisations. Laura Bates is spot on when she advocates for an overhaul of laws, bodies of power (the police) and systems (like secondary education) in order to root out misogyny at the highest level.
