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

ncsufoxes “a lone wolf, smart but misunderstood, they didn‘t mean it.” I lived in Poway, CA where the shooting at the synagogue happened a few years ago. The kid that did it became radicalized very quickly. He was a few years older than my son. His dad was a teacher at my son‘s high school (where the shooter also went). The parents were stunned to find out about how he had been radicalized. They disowned him & have not talked to him since he was arrested. 1w
ncsufoxes They disavowed what he did & were no part of his trial. The dad stopped teaching for a year. It was horrible to watch but it put this stuff on my radar & started talking about it with my teenage son. This book gave me more insight into just how horrible this web connecting alt-right, misogyny, white supremacy, racism is all connected to this disgusting place called the manosphere. (edited) 1w
TheBookHippie This book is a must read. 1w

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

ncsufoxes the reason why men are not succeeding (not the fact that the education system in most states is failing many or that most people in the US read at a 7th grade level). You Tube & most other social media are cesspools which allow people to preach hate & glorifying brutalization of women…all in the name of free speech. Young boys are unwittingly drawn into these hate filled narratives under the guise of “manliness.” Hard read but very necessary 1w

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

ncsufoxes irritates me). It shows girls sports are not as important as boys. I know that most young girls do not see this & think that but this is the message we are reinforcing. Now I need to figure out who to speak with about this. (edited) 2w
Bookwormjillk This is why I was so excited when my daughter started playing field hockey. Here it‘s only a girl‘s sport. Soccer was infuriating! 2w
Amiable As a female who grew up playing softball, basketball and soccer during the ‘80s, I feel this so much. We were always second-class citizens it came to athletics. 2w

TheBookHippie @Amiable my daughter played basketball it was horrific then too (99-05) Tennis late 70s early 80s was horrific for me. 😵‍💫 I can‘t even discuss Archery. 2w

RamsFan1963 Every year, when it's time for the NCAA March Madness, the men's games get all the attention, the major broadcasts and all the newspaper & internet space, while the women's tournament is treated as an afterthought. It pisses me off, the women's tournament usually has better games and storylines, but if you don't go looking for the games on ESPN 2 or 3, you'd never know a tournament was even being played!! 2w
RamsFan1963 And, don't even get me started on how the WNBA is treated compared to the Gods of the NBA 😡😡😡 2w
ncsufoxes @RamsFan1963 tell me about it. Our 9 year old daughter likes basketball & we try & watch more games with her but they‘re so hard to find. We are NC State alumni & when the women‘s team made it to the final four we watched the games with her. Women‘s soccer is the same way. I wish they would show more matches on tv but they‘re of course don‘t. It‘s hard to show your daughter (& sons)strong women when they don‘t give them equal air time. 2w

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

ncsufoxes convicted offender it only gives these groups more power & lack of restraint. 2w

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.

ChaoticMissAdventures My own gyno recently asked me if I had heard of her and recommended reading her. I have seen her speak before and she is really personable. I am glad she is getting her messages out. 2w
Desha I just finished this book about a week ago before my gyno appointment…it really helped! I also recommend The New Hot by Meg Mathews and Next Level by Stacy T. Sims and Selene Yeager! 2w
