icolford | Jan 25, 2024 | A review of media and feminism. Starts out a bit slow, but stick with it; the overall book is worth the weight. It is a bit out of date now, since much of the online misogyny that has become standard in the past few years had not yet moved out of the fringe, and didn't really capture her attention. I would love to see it updated in the new age of 24-hour misogyny, but this book does help to put some of that into clearer view. By detailing the things that were going on for the past four decades, it becomes easier to understand how these young men have grown up with such a warped idea of women. Recommended for anyone who thinks we have reached the golden age of women, and especially recommended for women who excuse everything that is presented to us as "woman's choice" and "empowering". The author manages to demolish that idea quite nicely. The main problem I see with the book is that there is not enough look (there is some) at how the presentation of masculinity affects the issue. It is touched on, but more superficially, mostly how it impacts how men see women, and not really as much how men see themselves as a result of media. That last is really an important part.
