No holds barred, no fucks given, brash, gutsy, in your face, up your ass, punk rock, a giant middle finger... how I've missed feminism like this. It reminds me of some of the stuff I read in college, in my 20s, where the author just doesn't give a shit about your feelings because it's truth time. In some ways there's a dated feel to it I can't quite verbalize, but it speaks contemporarily on toxic masculinity, privilege, sex positivity, inclusion. It's a real kick to read, a lot of fun for a long-time, middle-aged feminist like myself.
