I‘m listening to this one - and although I‘m enjoying it and believe the info id important it just feels like a lot. The world feels scary and ugly and listening to about how women have been marginalized for years just — I don‘t know if I can consume all this at this time — not sure if I am gonna DNF yet —

Just got back from a local street pride rally- mostly positive honks & waves from cars- a few denigrating shouts. Stopped in to pick up a hold at the library & they had a bug display of books, pins, flags for Pride month. #pride #indivisible
pickThis is not a pleasant story; rising star criminal defence barrister Tessa is assaulted and has to decide whether to take her turn on the other side of the bar table, as victim and witness.

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.

pickOne 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
