Painfully depressing to read but incredibly enlightening to see the truth of pervasiveness of sexism in our society laid out all in one place. Having grown up on the internet, a lot of the content was familiar to me, but even I didn't understand how much support these extremist groups actually have. 

My primary critique is that there isn't much of a storyline to follow throughout the book, which made it difficult to engage with the dense and depressing material. Even though I was interested in the topic, I found it hard to motivate myself to keep reading at times. 

I liked how Bates ended the book by placing the onus on men to take leadership in tackling toxic masculinity. This is a perspective that I rarely see online, so it was interesting to have it stated so obviously. I liked how Bates included that perspectives of many different anti-misogynist men.
