There’s no blame on women’s progress. Op literally says the author says this was a good thing. Pointing out the fact that women have made huge gains academically and in financial independence, while men have fallen downwards isn’t blaming women lol. As for as power structures, sure, rich white dudes have made it tough for everyone, including and especially black men, which the book covers a great deal and points out they have it worse than any other demographic. But of course this entire sub wants to ignore that and cry about sexism when this book is anti sexism. Fucking unbelievable.

A majority of the book is about black men and young men in general in the lower rungs socioeconomically. Lol that ain’t a “narrow demographic” but ok.

This is the most rational and reasonable response so far lol. OP suggested a book about gender equality and is immediately met with hyper reactionary pitchforks about how he’s pushing gender inequality. It’s hilarious to see. Careful, the pitchforks will be coming for you and your sons too.

How can you claim something to not be based on reality without even reading it? You refuse to read a book based on one line from another Redditor’s review of the book or a news article based on the actions of the president? Every writer and journalist of The Atlantic is invalid and wrong, and seemingly complicit and guilty by association? That’s pretty ridiculous, no? Doesn’t seem open minded at all. Cheers.

You seem like someone who’s very open minded and welcoming to ideas that possibly oppose your current beliefs or what you think you know. Healthy sign of a growing and thinking person and just what we need in a divided country! Cheers!
