God this book dragged.  There's also some islamaphobic comments I can't ignore.  I think in general I need to remove a lot of these outdated works from my tbr.  A lot of what's being said has been said better by others in my opinion.  Sometimes the essays didn't even seem to have much of a coherent thought or point.  Also major trigger warning in the first essay.  It felt like the author was relying on shock value.
