Publisher's Summary
The feminist book they tried to ban in France.
Women, especially feminists and lesbians, have long been accused of hating men. Our instinct is to deny it at all costs. (After all, women have been burnt at the stake for admitting to less.)
But what if mistrusting men, disliking men - and yes, maybe even hating men - is, in fact, a useful response to sexism? What if such a response offers a way out of oppression, a means of resistance? What if it even offers a path to joy, solidarity and sisterhood?
In this sparkling essay, as mischievous and provocative as it is urgent and serious, Pauline Harmange interrogates modern attitudes to feminism and makes a rallying cry for women to find a greater love for each other - and themselves.
Critic Reviews
"Written in wise prose, devoid of excess or rage, I Hate Men explores the terrain of contemporary feminism, its arguments in keeping with those of writers like Rebecca Solnit, as well as the movement's key ideas: patriarchy, the mental load, #MeToo and solidarity." (L’Obs)
"A delightful book." (Roxane Gay)
"A good book, written from a burning heart but with a cool head." (The Times)

just male bashing
A book essentially demonising men and picking the worst interpretation of everything they do.
The athour spends the first few chapter unsuccessful trying to untie the hypocrisy of "hating men" while having married one. The book gets to the point of such astounding bad faith that men only spaces are labelled as areas men use to plan the future destruction of women where as women only spaces (even ones as simple book clubs) are where women plan their liberation.
essentially man = bad. there just saved you from listening to this essay.
