Essays. Sociology. Women's Studies. Nonfiction. HTML:A bold and uncompromising feminist manifesto that shows women and girls how to defy, disrupt, and destroy the patriarchy by embracing the qualities they've been trained to avoid.
Seizing upon the energy of the #MeToo movement, feminist activist Mona Eltahawy advocates a muscular, out-loud approach to teaching women and girls to harness their power through what she calls the "seven necessary sins" that women and girls are not supposed to commit: to be angry, ambitious, profane, violent, attention-seeking, lustful, and powerful. All the necessary "sins" that women and girls require to erupt.
Eltahawy knows that the patriarchy is alive and well, and she is fed the hell up: Sexually assaulted during hajj at the age of fifteen. Groped on the dance floor of a night club in Montreal at fifty. Countless other injustices in the years between. Illuminating her call to action are stories of activists and ordinary women around the world??from South Africa to China, Nigeria to India, Bosnia to Egypt??who are tapping into their inner fury and crossing the lines of race, class, faith, and gender that make it so hard for marginalized women to be heard. Rather than teaching women and girls to survive the poisonous system they have found themselves in, Eltahawy arms them to dismantle it.

Gave me a feminist boner throughout.

"I will not be civil to anything or anyone that refuses to acknowledge the full humanity of women and girls."

This one is more than a good book about intersectional feminism in the Trump era. It battles more than misogyny, islamophobia, racism, homophobia, fatphobia and transphobia. It actually advocates the right of women to not only be seen, but to be angry about the injustices they face, and their right to not be polite, their right to attention and respect.

It was energetic and pure fun to read. Even though it has a great amount of facts of instances of oppression and violence, the general feeling I got was empowerment. It is often that feminist books leave me a bit more depressed about the state of the world. This one calls to action, makes you feel ready to fight for yourself and your sisters.

I loved every word of it.

This is the manifesto that the young girls, teens, and women in your world need. That you need! Delivered in time for the #metoo movement, this book offers a rallying cry for justice.

Best for:
Women. People with women in their lives. Feminists.

In a nutshell:
Author and activist Eltahawy makes the case for the sins women should embrace as we seek to destroy the patriarch.

Worth quoting:
“I don’t want to be protected. I want to be free.”

“I refuse to be civil with someone who refuses to acknowledge my humanity fully.”

“But who indoctrinated those Republican white women? Who taught them to submit to patriarchy? Those are questions often reserved for Muslima women, but I demand we ask them now of white women - whose votes uphold the benefits of whiteness but hurt the rest of us.”

Why I chose it:
I was looking for a little motivation, and I wanted to read some quality, bad-ass writing.

Review:
What a perfect book to reach my Cannonball Read goal on: a call to action written by a queer woman of color. Fuck yeah.

Within the first ten pages of this book, Eltahawy shares two different experiences of sexual assault, and how she has changed as a person between them. The second one ends with her beating the shit out of her assailant.

Eltahawy frames this book around seven actions - sins - that she argues women are taught to stay away from but that indeed very necessary in overthrowing the patriarchy. The sins are Anger, Attention, Profanity, Ambition, Power, Violence, and Lust. In each exploration of sin, she offers examples of how that action was necessary in fighting back against the harm patriarchy inflicts on us all. Some, I have no problem embracing - anger, profanity, even ambition. Others I do have somewhat of a negative response to - attention, violence. But Eltahawy makes strong cases for each, with the constant refrain that we need to dismantle and overthrow the patriarchy, that it hurts women and girls, and being polite and asking to be respected hasn’t worked.

We have to demand it, and take the power back, by force if necessary.

I finished this with the backdrop of what’s been going on in the US this week, where a court that includes two men accused of sexual harassment / sexual assault (Thomas and Kavanaugh) along with a woman Eltahawy would definitely characterize as a foot soldier of the patriarchy (Coney Barrett, who probably wouldn’t have to do much acting to take on a Commander’s Wife role in The Handmaid’s Tale) will help to bastardize the US Constitution and take away one of the most fundamental human rights from people who can get pregnant. Its disgusting, it pisses me off, and having such an obvious marker of the patriarchy in the background as I read made this hit a little different than it might have if I’d read it at a different time.

There’s so much to unpack here, I wish I’d read this with other women, and could discuss each of the chapters separately. But it’s one of my favorite books of the year, and one I can see myself referring back to often.

I really enjoyed this book and the boldness of the language. I read through this with a mix of the paper book and the audiobook (narrated by the author) and recommend both as a good reading experience. I particularly enjoyed the chapter on profanity as the author was able to put into words a lot of the discomfort I've felt in policing profane language, especially when used by women and other marginalized people. She didn't shy away from addressing challenges in white feminism in America while also keeping a focus global feminists issues. I was impressed by the scope of the book given the length. Well worth the read. ( )

Great book explaining the need to destroy the patriarchy and how these “sins” are a must for change. ( )
