4.25

I somehow expected the book titled the Mental Load to be all and only about the mental load, but that was just the first chapter. After that lots more was covered - interesting and also "oh damn"-triggering things.

Some little French details were a bit odd to me, mostly in a "Oh, that's how they do that there. Curious."-way.

The chapter(s) about BS work and UBI would guaranteedly throw certain folks into apoplectic rage, only if those people would read this kind of a book.

I don't really know what to say beyond that it was very preach-y.

challenging funny informative lighthearted fast-paced

4.0

A great feminist and socialist nonfiction comic collection that discusses topics like police brutality, overworking, the male gaze, sexism, and the mental load (the disproportionate domestic labor gap between men and women in heterosexual couples). These comics are funny and clever as well as informative. This book was super accessible and fun to read! Highly recommend.
