A review by gloechic
Cunt: A Declaration of Independence by Inga Muscio

2.0

I really had mixed feelings while I was reading this book. Although I agreed with a few points, I was more inclined to disagree with a lot of what the author was saying. Especially during the chapter on mentruation. (I personally find it unsanitary that she likes to bleed on her kitchen floor.) I also felt a lot like she was just a bitter man-hater, and at times I was embarassed that she was speaking for women. Other times I felt like she presented a reasonable view on feminism and the way women are treated in society. (I especially liked the point she made about how American women tend to demean each other, whereas women in many other male-dominated countries the women stick together.) I do feel as though she redeemed herself some in the update at the end of the book. I felt as though she matured in her thinking quite a bit and appreciated the list of websites, companies, organizations, etc. at the end.
