Welcome to Litsy!

As you can imagine, this one is a tough read. But it‘s well done and vital. In particular, Bates discusses how not only are the attitudes of men‘s rights activists and increls not going away, they‘re spreading and creeping into other lines of discourse in the absence of counter programming, so ignoring them is not the answer.

This is a powerful book that offers such clarity on issues we should all be aware of & how the minority are influencing the majority filling our society with a hate rhetoric. Before starting this book I thought I knew something of incels & misogyny, nope! I knew nothing. Bates has researched her book so thoroughly with no stone left unturned & she is shining a bright spot light that we must all look at NOW!

As someone who works in education and deals directly with Safeguarding concerns and behaviour incidents Chapter 9 of Laura Bates' book has thoroughly slapped me in the face and woke me up!

I‘m now officially a man who hates men. More precisely, as the final chapter is titled, I‘m a man who hates men who hate women. The other chapters cover all of the unsavoury flavours of misogynists from online Incels up to their offline, male supremacist heroes like Piers Morgan, Trump and Johnson. Along the way we meet MGTOWs and Pick Up Artists. Fascinating and depressing in equal turns. Full of verifiable facts. Need something light to read now

I can‘t say I enjoyed this book but it‘s essential reading for everyone. So many interesting topics and statistics which I didn‘t know about. I was angry and upset pretty much from start to finish but isn‘t that the point of books like this? If we don‘t highlight the problem how can we tackle it?
A definite pick
4.5 ⭐️

I didn‘t know too much about incels before reading this book and I must say it‘s absolutely terrifying the way these men think
