About this audiobook
Outspoken critic Jessa Crispin delivers a searing rejection of contemporary feminism… and a bracing manifesto for revolution.
Are you a feminist? Do you believe women are human beings and that they deserve to be treated as such? That women deserve all the same rights and liberties bestowed upon men? If so, then you are a feminist . . . or so the feminists keep insisting. But somewhere along the way, the movement for female liberation sacrificed meaning for acceptance, and left us with a banal, polite, ineffectual pose that barely challenges the status quo. In this bracing, fiercely intelligent manifesto, Jessa Crispin demands more.
Why I Am Not a Feminist is a radical, fearless call for revolution. It accuses the feminist movement of obliviousness, irrelevance, and cowardice-and demands nothing less than the total dismantling of a system of oppression.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I will be recommending this book broadly. I listened to it in one day & will be on the lookout for an IRL copy, so that when I recommend it I can loan it. I'm also looking up the works of anyone I was unfamiliar with who was listed in her gratitude section at the end of the book.
