Men Explain Things to Me

I must say that I really enjoyed this book.

I got it kindly recommended after some (unpleasant) discussions on Twitter about feminism and sexism, and I'm very glad that at least I got this as "something good" from it.

As a white cishet man, unless you're already very familiar with this topic, you have to read it in a very open-minded way. Some assertions might make you feel attacked or uncomfortable, but I think it is worthy to read it leaving all your ego aside. I'm sure we all can learn a lot from it (I hope I did it).

Surprisingly, I only disagreed with a couple of sentences. In a 140 pages book, that looks amazing to me :-)

I specially enjoyed the Woolf's part and the last chapter, "Pandora's box". Very powerful analysis and reflections.

I think it's specially good that the writer communicates very well, she uses a very "wise" way to express herself. Because of that, it was easy to me to focus on the message and not on the way the message was transmitted.

Without forgetting the drama and seriousness of this problem, she keeps a constructive, positive and optimistic speech. I loved that. So far I have experienced, not everybody has that way to focus this topic...

TL;DR: just read it! :-)
