brgntteva 's review for:

Men Explain Things to Me by Rebecca Solnit
4.0

few notes and quotes:
.
"Men explain things to me, still. And no man has ever apologised for explaining wrongly things that I know and they don't"
- highly relatable!
.
"Marriage between 2 people of same gender is inherently egalitarian"
- that's something I've never thought, really meaningful and intriguing a thought (In praise of threat)
.
"Most women and girls live in fear of rape. Men, in general, do not"
Now this kills me. Exactly this point. The inherent unbalance is a fact that bothers me to no end.
.
Must get back to Virginia Woolf, especially A room of one's own; Street hunting; Orlando
.
Must check on: Judith Herman, Trauma and recovery; Betty Friedan, The feminine Mystique; Susan Faludi, Backlash.
