Beauty and Misogyny- Unputdownable

[Sakura]

I'm halfway through it and it only arrived yesterday.

In my teens and early twenties I always thought women would be okay somehow because other feminist women had got our backs covered.
But recently I've had an increasing sense of unease as I've slowly begun to realise how much power anti-feminist lobbyists have(pornification of culture/exploitation/ pretending subordination is empowering / patriarchy in academia/ powerful lobbyists who work against feminism because they want society to remain masculine/feminine- dominant/subserviant).

It had begun to depress me, this feeling that there's just a few of us and we're on our own

DON'T WORRY. Sheila Jeffreys has got our backs covered.

will see if the library has it, thanks :)

I was drawn by the word unputdownable! Catchy title!!

I read it a few months ago. Thought it was great. Except I have some strong reservations about parts of the trans chapter.

the phrase 'different and deferent' is what stayed with me.

her writing style reminds me of Kate Millet. really really funny, but so subtle that you just have to double check that you read it right. Genius tongue in cheek humour.
