Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m so excited to start this study in June. It‘s my #2025nfbookchallenge. I always start the year strong with whatever challenge I set for myself. Then comes March… I‘ve been struggling to finish my nonfiction choices, but I‘m pretty sure that won‘t be the case here. I loved the documentary which brought out some excellent discussions. #readmorebooks #nonfiction #spirituallife

4⭐️ please don‘t misunderstand me, because I really like this book. It was inspiring and eye-opening. But I have been emotional lately and I don‘t think I was in the right headspace to connect the way I could‘ve. I feel like I should‘ve hit pause and gone back to finish the read another time. So that‘s what I plan to do, despite the fact that I have finished it, I‘m gonna pick it up again later this year and reread it. #ReadBannedBooks for May.

Many young boys go into You Tube & find their way to these sites which are preaching these principles of hate against women. It‘s all crafted in a certain way to make boys unaware (as well as their parents) of what they are stumbling upon. Social media has long since been complicit in not shutting these men down. Not to mention the media also plays a part in how people that commit violent acts are “good or misunderstood” aka White men/boy who was

One of those highly important books, especially at this moment. This info is more relevant now than when it was written just a few years ago. Reason is the current president is a convicted felon for assault & this shows the men in the manosphere that they can get away with anything & not be held accountable. I am horrified for my daughter to know that there are men (boys being mainstreamed into this narrative) that women are evil. That women are

Perfect example of sexism. My daughter had 2 fliers sent home for basketball camps at the high school down the road. Both camps are sponsored by the same booster club. The boys get a nice card & the girls get a photocopy. Also the boys camp only has a $5 late fee for registering after a certain date & the girls it‘s a $20 fee. I told my husband that this shows girls don‘t matter as much as boys (I know that most parents don‘t think this but it

I‘ve been slowly reading this book for the last month. I want to part vomit, throw the book across the room, sign my daughter up for every self defense class from now until eternity. My oldest (he‘s 21) he‘s been telling me for the last few years that social media is a cesspool. He said the white supremacy is so bad. It‘s good to be knowledgeable but ugh this is horrific. Its of course only gotten worse since the 🍊one is back & now that he‘s a

I found the cover art and subtitle misleading. This is a memoir of some of those things: reporting on sex work is covered, but as is the author‘s personal life including her mother‘s illness and death (TW), marriage and starting a family. While she does dive into the male gaze, starting in childhood with her father‘s porn — she becomes intrigued by sex and desire, discovering that she views sex through the male gaze herself. Good at times.

This Canadian doctor is funny and thorough and not patronizing. I was a bit overwhelmed, but the information was useful. I now know what questions to ask my doctor. I would recommend it to anyone currently going through the menopause transition who feels like there's a lot of junk information to sort through.

For anyone else confused or mortified by this whole process, I feel your pain.
