This book gives voice to misandry, explores the psycho-cultural mechanisms and social context behind it, and hits the nail on the head. There is a world of difference between the systemic oppression caused by misogyny and the minor damage to self-esteem caused by misandry. Unlike misandry, which has long been stigmatized, misandry is not sexism, but a response to sexism. It is not sexist, but a response to sexism, an outrage against male privilege, a call for women to break free from shame and confinement, to focus on the solidarity and camaraderie that comes with it, to "imagine a whole new way of being", to pursue freedom and liberation on their own terms. A small book of 104 pages, but with a lot of energy, Polina talks about misandry but not only about misandry, linking everyday experiences with real data to write about the female condition, a deafening exposé of male privilege and a call for a change in the misogynistic status quo.
