About this ebook
A NEW YORK TIMES TOP 10 BESTSELLER
‘A fascinating, mind-blowing and deeply intelligent book that should be recommended reading for every person on our planet’ SCARLETT CURTIS
‘Laura Bates puts out books that perfectly describe growing problems and possible solutions. She's a proper hero at the coal mouth’ CAITLIN MORAN
'Brilliantly fierce and eye-opening' OBSERVER
________________________________________________________
The extremism nobody talks about
And how it affects us all
Imagine a world in which a vast network of incels and other misogynists are able to operate, virtually undetected. These extremists commit deliberate terrorist acts against women. Vulnerable teenage boys are groomed and radicalised.
You don't have to imagine that world. You already live in it. Perhaps you didn’t know, because we don’t like to talk about it. But it’s time we start.
In this urgent and groundbreaking book, Laura Bates, bestselling author and founder of The Everyday Sexism Project, goes undercover to expose vast misogynist networks and communities. It’s a deep dive into the worldwide extremism nobody talks about.
Interviews with former members of these groups and the people fighting against them gives unique insights on how this movement operates. Ideas are spread from the darkest corners of the internet – via trolls, media and celebrities – to schools, workplaces and the corridors of power, becoming a part of our collective consciousness.
Uncensored, and sometimes both shocking and terrifying – this is the uncomfortable truth about the world we live in. And what we must do to change it.

She definitely needs help. I feel sorry for her, she might have been througha lot but that's not an excuse to blame men for absolutely everything that's bad in our world. A woman that hates men shouldn't write a book on this topic; it helps no one and it's not solving any issue. There are problems within our society since we human beings are not perfect but these problems can only be fixed by grown ups that respect both men and women and want to build a better future for the upcoming generations. We can't build a future for our children if HATE is our foundation, be it hate for bad women or men. People need to be loved in order to be changed, they don't need to be changed in order to be loved.

Challenging content for those who come here to review their outdated misogynist opinion of the author instead of giving the book a chance to show evidence of how toxic masculinity hurts men just as much, sometimes more (through increased suicide rates). I'd give it ten stars if I could.
