Welcome to Litsy!

This author packs a punch in this tiny little book of short stories. Tbh I don't even remember what the middle one was about, but the others are sticking.

I was extremely disappointed in this book - I learned more on the topic from the author‘s interviews than I did reading. I appreciate that the author wanted to work through her trauma but I didn‘t want to read the trauma dump and not understand the WHY of this timely and impotent topic.
0/5 listen to the interviews about this book and you‘ll learn more about the rising danger of the manosphere and the deadly consequences of misogyny

Many young boys go into You Tube & find their way to these sites which are preaching these principles of hate against women. It‘s all crafted in a certain way to make boys unaware (as well as their parents) of what they are stumbling upon. Social media has long since been complicit in not shutting these men down. Not to mention the media also plays a part in how people that commit violent acts are “good or misunderstood” aka White men/boy who was

One of those highly important books, especially at this moment. This info is more relevant now than when it was written just a few years ago. Reason is the current president is a convicted felon for assault & this shows the men in the manosphere that they can get away with anything & not be held accountable. I am horrified for my daughter to know that there are men (boys being mainstreamed into this narrative) that women are evil. That women are

Perfect example of sexism. My daughter had 2 fliers sent home for basketball camps at the high school down the road. Both camps are sponsored by the same booster club. The boys get a nice card & the girls get a photocopy. Also the boys camp only has a $5 late fee for registering after a certain date & the girls it‘s a $20 fee. I told my husband that this shows girls don‘t matter as much as boys (I know that most parents don‘t think this but it

I‘ve been slowly reading this book for the last month. I want to part vomit, throw the book across the room, sign my daughter up for every self defense class from now until eternity. My oldest (he‘s 21) he‘s been telling me for the last few years that social media is a cesspool. He said the white supremacy is so bad. It‘s good to be knowledgeable but ugh this is horrific. Its of course only gotten worse since the 🍊one is back & now that he‘s a

I listened to this book in March, & I love it! The narrator is great—she gets all the sarcastic comments right. Warning—This book will probably make you mad about the history of women‘s medical treatment. I learned so much. I think it‘s obvious in our history that 1) men are terrified of women & our vaginas & 2) men only care about a woman‘s uterus. I laughed while driving several times from the sarcasm, so I hope you all will read this. 5⭐️

3.75/5
While I prefer Foster and Small Things Like These, these three short stories are still very representative of Keegan's writing style: well-written story which slowly but surely sucks you in.

This was written in 2020. It‘s galling how much worse things have gotten since then and frustrating how many of the online right wing figures referenced feel dated, but have been seamlessly replaced in online spaces by NEW online misogynists (and government officials).
