An important book that is going to stay in my library. I could rant all day about this one. I had to step away from this one sometimes. I knew it was bad , I didn‘t know it was this bad 😬😡😞

pickCome covers quite a bit in this, mostly the history of women in medicine, what "They" thought of us, how the medical institutions reflected the morals of the time, no matter what the evidence showed.
I wish she would have included Trans women more, she mostly ignores them beyond using a quote from Dylan Mulvaney and a few off handed sentencing at the end of a long chapter on HRT.
But overall I thought this was good she makes interesting points?
Listening to this audiobook while walking the neighborhood.
Look at this tree!! So red, so gorgeous 😍
pickWhen I was a kid, bigots would tell me, with a little smirk “I‘m not AFRAID of gay people”. Down Girl is about a similar issue in misogyny. When we talk about misogyny, lots of misogynists dispute claims cause they love their mom or Sydney Swenney. Manne writes about how misogyny divides people into 2 classes: those entitled to attention and love and nurture and those who must work to supply it or be punished.
pickRead an article in a weekend paper about her. Never heard of her before. Requested books from library and got two. This one was a bit of a tough read. Dysfunctional relationships. Excellent writing. First published in 1966. Long out of print until Text reprinted all her work in 2012 . Still being printed . An Australian author who should be remembered and read.
Hey @TheBookHippie I‘m just on chapter one and I am 😡😲😳😤😱
