Short punchy polemic. Makes me want to read Andrea Dworkin.

There are dozens of thorough and substantive reviews so I’m not going to trouble myself to write another. I’ll just say that if feminism were the narrow-minded, inconsistent, hypocritical straw feminist set of beliefs Crispin describes, I wouldn’t be a feminist either. Feminism is a movement to end sexism, sexist exploitation, and oppression. If it’s not intersectional it’s not feminism.

A quick read that articulated pretty much all of my concerns with contemporary feminism that also made me rethink some of the things I consider "feminist".

I was hoping she'd have more actual statistics and data to back up her arguments, as well as some suggestions for what we can do about the situation. But I see the subtitle for this book calls it a manifesto, so it may be too much to ask for a solution. I suspect the issue is too big and complex for a neat solution anyway.… (más)
