Who here has read it?

(Link to the free PDF here. If you’re on iPhone/iPad, you can save it to your books by clicking the middle icon at the bottom of Safari that’s used for sharing things, and to to either the Books app or a PDF reader, and it will automatically save the book for you, so you can bookmark pages and highlight text. I’m unsure how to do this on Android; if anyone in the comments can tell us how to do that, please tell us how in the comments; this book is too valuable not to spread access to.)

It’s been a life-changing book for me; possibly the most important book I’ve ever read. I wish I had access to it as a teenager, it would’ve saved me from so much trauma.

I love how at the beginning of it, the (male) author says:

Note: Men of all ages and in all parts of the world are more violent than women. For this reason, the language in this book is mostly gender-specific to men. When it comes to violence, women can proudly relinquish recognition in the language, because here at least, politically correct would be statistically incorrect.

( smug terf sounds )

In my opinion, every woman and teen girl needs to read this book. We need to share both this and Lundy Bancroft’s Why Does He Do That? far and wide. I still don’t understand why men are so evil or hate us so much, but at least I now know so many types of red flags to look out for, as well as types of abusive men.
