Finally, a book that shines a light on a topic that no one wants to touch: the online man-o-sphere, it's dangerous and misogynistic rhetoric that leads to real world violence. Laura breaks down each of the groups and examines their core beliefs and what makes each one different and how each one leads to the same end place: irrational hatred of women. She also has provided many examples of killings, including mass killings that were caused by this rhetoric showing that this isn't merely “boys being boys” and that these groups and the violence that comes out of it are why we need to stop holding onto such rigid gender roles and allow boys to be, you know, human, not emotionless machines who must be “manly men” all the time who aren't allowed to have problems. A genuine must-read in my opinion. This is an issue that is way too overlooked.
