I loved her breakdown of twitter and what it’s like being a fat woman on the Internet at any time. This book paints the liberal left as heroes who MUST champion a decisive movement chock-full of black and white thinking to save our world and the right as soulless monsters who are putting children and refugees in “concentration camps.” It’s too far, and it’s not helpful.
It's about a sort of collective cultural shift where we sort of define our boundaries and our values together, and then we all make individual choices within that. Whereas “Shrill” seems to be more about self-love & acknowledgment, this book comes across as an act of finger-pointing. 4-4.5 stars: It hadn't really occurred to me before reading this book, but Lindy West is a critic uniquely suited to reflecting on our current cultural and political moment. .orange-text-color {font-weight:bold; color: #FE971E;}Enjoy features only possible in digital – start reading right away, carry your library with you, adjust the font, create shareable notes and highlights, and more. I want to win. She explains exactly why they feel so wrong with crystal clarity. In. this is one of the best non-fiction books i've ever read. To believe in nothing is to change nothing. I felt it preached to the people who pretty much already 100% agree with the author and though I agree with her on many points, I also found some of them a little problematic and likely alienating to those who are slightly less fervent than the author about certain issues. I love her confidence and conviction. The truth can transform us; there is witchcraft in it. Adam Sandler, South Park, and Pepe the Frog all come under West's withering scrutiny in this funny, hyper-literate analysis of the link between meme culture and male mediocrity.

I haven’t watched the tv show Shrill but I remember reading a little of the book, but I never finished it because it was a time when I used to abandon books midway a lot. Feminist Lindy West takes no shit.
If I were to let those people scare me away or shut me up, then they win, and what's the utility in that? Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2019. I agree with much of what Lindy West says in her new book, but I can't shake the feeling I had when I read her first book. ", West didn't call herself a feminist until she was 20.

Lindy West says it's really not fair to expect teenagers to inspire us.
Basically, it felt like a well written book that's p. I think this book will have a strong following, it just wasn't for me. It’s true, I agree, and I agree with her writing a book with essays proving what a bad job most of us are doing at being humane human beings. Shit, Actually: The Definitive, 100% Objective Guide to Modern Cinema, Dead Blondes and Bad Mothers: Monstrosity, Patriarchy, and the Fear of Female Power, We Are Never Meeting in Real Life. I've had my home address posted online, I've had my phone number posted online, and my email address, probably my Social Security number. We don’t need more bombastic division and propaganda and echo chambers, we need harsh realities and common ground in tandem.
But I stayed off Twitter because it is nicer to not be there. The stigma against "angry" women still exists, of course, "but they're certainly not afraid of it," West says, "and they find a really empowering defiance in it.". Being cognizant of and careful with historic trauma of others is what "political correctness" means. But not believing in anything IS believing in something. I don't want to be a part of this. We work hard to protect your security and privacy. I would defer to the publisher's website, which lists a publication date of November 5th, 2019 (as of today - Aug. 5). It did not disappoint. I actually tried to read the book slower to make it last longer, that’s how much I needed to hear this voice and these words. I agreed with the points the author made and I am sure her delivery method will work for many, and I hope it does because I think she has an important book to write.
