AuthorsSo last May, I read 'The End of Gender' by Debra Soh
Posted July 18, 2023 by [Deleted] in Books

For the most part it's pretty good and presents a fairly unbiased, straight-forward breakdown of the rise in gender-ideology but there was one point in the book where I had to stop because I was so angry.

I don't remember the exact chapter, but at one point Soh goes off about how women shouldn't strive for separatism because while we may not be as statistically violent 'we can still be really mean and catty' (yeah I'll take a backhanded compliment every day for the rest of my life over an actual backhand thank you very much) and also that 'separatism would mean the decline of the species'. First of all, the human race living into infinity isn't even a worthy goal in and of itself and even if it was, why the hell should women care after being exploited throughout all of human history for our reproductive capacities?

Also despite being a former sexologist, you can clearly tell she's of the mindset that femininity is innate to womanhood (yawn).

It was at this point that I realized why the book is being endorsed by Ben Shapiro on the cover.

This straight woman is all for it.

Even just spending time in online woman-only spaces has strengthened and enlightened me in ways I didn't even know were possible, personally.
