Review of 'We Should All Be Feminists' on 'Goodreads'

I’m flabbergasted to see so many positive reviews of an unapologetically heteronormative book.

I can understand that people write from their experiences and idiosyncrasies. I can see how many people could have wrote a similar book in the 70s in Europe.

But this was written in 20-fucking-14 and it oozes transphobia and homophobia by the same omission it condemns in sexism. It also reeks of capitalist propaganda about deserving respect for effort, entrepreneurship and money after saying it wouldn't go into class struggle.

I’m really disappointed on people suggesting this is a good introduction to feminism in the 21st century. This is feminism for the 1% from a person that knows her privilege compared to her environment.
