Excellent and infuriating read.
None of the topics discussed were new to me but were laud out in a concise and logical manner and clearly well researched.
I especially appreciated the closing where he personal passion is apparent - empowering her daughter to entitlement equal to that of a man.

Manne dives deep into what the patriarchy gives men (specifically white and rich men) and gives detailed retellings of how desolate the world is. It is a sad read as a young woman, even the last chapter, and raises the question of "How do I reach these entitlements she lays out for me? Is it too late?" A necessary read.
