A must-read for everyone.

December 10, 2016 by bonnie 2 Comments

Ever since someone told me about the word “mansplaining,” I felt an enormous sense of relief. So that’s what they call it. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been interrupted, openly contradicted, shamed, or talked over in settings with men. It’s quite common in English graduate programs to be told that you’re wrong when you’re not, or that someone’s subjective opinion is passed off as incontrovertible fact. I won’t spoil the full review, which is replete with lots of caps, and a special gif. But seriously, please read this book, especially if you’re a male ally. Sometimes new-feminist male allies can fall into the mansplain trap the fastest.

    Ooooh! I just picked this up on last week! And I kid you not, I was in the bookstore trying to find a review of it here because I could have sworn I saw somebody else recommend it. I’m so glad that I just went with my gut and picked it up. Excited (and a little wary, if I’m being honest) to read it!

    The MINUTE I have enough time to read your full review and comment appropriately I am on it. This one is on my 2017 list for sure.
