I am looking forward to starting #Shesaid July #buddyread Unshrinking this weekend. 😀
Just this sentence, in the intro… gutted me. I‘ve read her other books, they are very very excellent in-depth well-researched books. With so much to offer.
But this sentence alone, shows how our society works to silence women, just to make them so uncomfortable with themselves, that they balk at being “public”. That instinctual withdrawl silences whatever they would have said.

“I don‘t want you to be safe ideologically. I don‘t want you to be safe emotionally. I want you to be strong. That‘s different. I‘m not going to pave the jungle for you. Put on some boots, and learn how to deal with adversity. I‘m not going to take all the weights out of the gym; that‘s the whole point of the gym. This is the gym.” - Van Jones
Overall, I found this book to be moderate, data-driven, and interesting, with a couple of caveats. First, Twenge sometimes doesn't flag clearly what is data and what is her opinion. This is fine, it just means I have to pay closer attention. Next, I found the GenX section disappointing. She ignores outliers and nuances she points out in the Millennials section, and she reaches different conclusions from some data than I do. (cont'd ⬇️)
