“Himpathetic”: my new very useful vocabulary word.
Misogyny is typically although not invariably a response to a woman‘s to gendered law and order. I think of misogyny as one of those shock collars worn by dogs. Misogyny is capable of causing pain, and it often does, but even when it isn‘t actively hurting anyone, it tends to discourage girls and women from venturing out of bounds. If we stray, or err, we know what we are in for.⬇️ #shesaid
Hello #SheSaid! How is everyone doing this weekend. Surviving the current world so far 🙄. It‘s been a week and I can not wait to talk about this in the comments.

In general, I think of misogyny as being a bit like the shock collar worn by a dog to keep them behind one of those invisible fences that proliferate in suburbia. Misogyny is capable of causing pain, to be sure, and it often does so. But even when it isn‘t actively hurting anyone, it tends to discourage girls and women from venturing out of bounds. If we stray, or err, we know what we are in for.
(I can already tell this book will make me angry)

How are you all getting on with February's author Akwaeke Emezi?
I've created a SG book club for anyone interested - https://app.thestorygraph.com/book_clubs/ec1d5a86-5de9-4315-a128-fcab4d27c31d
Did I buy this copy for the cover? Absolutely. It fits the story far better than others I've seen. I still don't know why this book isn't more popular, though it is older now. This one has been on my mind even more lately. I can't imagine why. While this world is too extreme when it comes to how men are treated, it definitely makes you wonder how a world run by women would be different. Even "War Is A Racket" pondered why it might be better.
