The New Age of Sexism: How the AI Revolution is Reinventing Misogyny
Top book of May was Men Who Hate Women. It was not an easy read but one that is necessary. As a mom of a young man, teenage son, & a young daughter this book filled me with a next level anxiety about what is out there on social media. #12Booksof2025
pickThis book is terrifying and infuriating and I hated how important it was to read. Passing it off to a coworker tomorrow and will need to warn her about how hard this one is one is on your mental state.
March—I really loved the tagged because of the way the content was organized, the amount of historical & present-day info, & the author‘s snarkiness. It also will make you angry. Great audiobook. #12booksof2025 @TheEllieMo Runner-up—The Evolution of the Gospelettes
pickAn 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.
