Something Out of Place: Women and Disgust by Eimear McBride

3.0

An interesting polemic, much of this reads like an essay where she is bringing together many different strands and ideas about women and disgust. Sometimes the wording is spot on and she nails the perspective at other times it feels a little cursory. Sadly in the epilogue her efforts to compare racism and misogyny she inaccurately compares the heavy handed policing of the Sarah Everard vigil to the 'discretion and solidarity' shown by Police to the Black lives matters protests. I remember equal heavy handed and violent policing of the BLM marches and toxic media reporting afterwards. Falling into such a problematic comparison highlights the need and importance of intersectional feminism.
