Bookwormjillk I got the audiobook from the library. I have a harder time sticking to schedules with audiobooks so I might listen to it all at once. I'm looking forward to this one. I need to work on my Eloquent Rage. 19h

Hooked_on_books I have this one and haven‘t read it yet, so I think I‘ll join you if you don‘t mind a hanger-on. 18h

MallenNC I‘m joining this time! I have had this book for a while and haven‘t read it yet. 14h

There were so many positive comments left on my post last night that I think it‘s worth making this official.

This is very low key—no tag list, so feel free to participate how often you would like. I am reading one nonfiction a month that looks beyond the history found in schools.

If you would like to participate, post your book and thoughts each month, using #RealHistory and/or #HonestHistory . I‘ll make a bibliography for those interested.

Entitled: How Male Privilege Hurts Women | Kate Manne

pick

#Read2025

Finished today for #SheSaid March & it‘s one of those books you can‘t really like because it‘s so damn frustrating especially in our current world but it also an important read. I missed Manne‘s previous book Down Girl but I understand that this book builds & expands on it & focuses on male entitlement & how patriarchy “punishes women for not giving men the moral goods to which they are, by the terms of our social contract entitled.”⬇️

Riveted_Reader_Melissa, DieAReader

DebinHawaii … Published in 2020, the examples like the Brett Kavanaugh hearings, incel gun rampages, and the #MeToo movement are still relevant in 2025 since little has changed & we have even gone further backwards in some respects. Still reading this book, spreading the message & most importantly acting on it are the only ways to bring about change. 2d

Entitled: How Male Privilege Hurts Women | Kate Manne

Hello #SheSaid. Posting a bit later today. I hope you are all finishing up with the book and if not learning a lot, at least feeling less alone and “gas lighted” when you are in certain situations and being told it‘s normal, not a problem, etc.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Wow! The tags even posted without issues today! I need to post late more often 🤣 3d

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Bookwormjillk last week, I tried for literally hours. Logged out, back in, tried again. Let it sit after I hit enter, tried typing each in individually and then picking from the drop-down list of names. Anything I could think of….and nothing. I gave up after a few hours and just hoped you‘d find it by the tag. Today, copy & pasted the list in and it went right through and popped up as a comment immediately. 2 seconds 3d

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Litsy may be gaslighting me 😂 3d

DebinHawaii @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Hah! But how frustrating! I finished the book this morning. It was a good but also frustrating read. 3d

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @DebinHawaii I felt the same, but I also feel better knowing that I‘m not imagining the problems or the scope of the problems 3d

DebinHawaii @Riveted_Reader_Melissa So true! 3d

vlwelser I'm glad the tags worked. I'm ready (ish) to jump back in for the next book. I don't have the book yet but it's on hold at the library so forward progress is happening. 2d

AllDebooks I enjoyed this, despite its reiteration of well documented inequalities. Written well with some good insights 2d

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @vlwelser sometimes any forward progress is good progress. Even if it‘s just a tiny bit 21h

staci.reads I thought the book finished strong. The chapter Unelectable- On the Entitlement to Power - was especially relevant after the last election. The part about the backlash against Klobachar after her perceived "disloyalty" to Al Franken was new information for me. I really liked her discussion of communality and the effect that expectation has on women in power. That hit home for me personally. 17h

Men Have Called Her Crazy: A Memoir | Anna Marie Tendler

bailed

This is not a bad book. I just don‘t want to read anything smacking of the real world right now. Maybe if I were in a better state mentally and emotionally I would learn something from this book. But as it stands, I‘m having a hard time getting into it. Back to fiction!

DGRachel I feel this deep in my soul. 😭 4d

CatLass007 @DGRachel Bailing on nonfiction? I may do that for the entire administration. 4d

DGRachel For most of March, I couldn‘t handle anything more series than light MG mysteries! I tried to listen to the #shesaid book this month and the rage was overwhelming. I bailed for my own sanity. 4d

CatLass007 @DGRachel MG mysteries? Please tell me more. Thank goodness there‘s plenty of fiction out there to keep us out of our heads, if that makes sense. I‘m of the belief that I could listen to the most depressing book of fiction ever written (Sophie‘s Choice) and I could tolerate it better than reality. 4d

DGRachel Have you read The Swifts: A Dictionary of Scoundrels by Beth Lincoln? Shenanigan Swift is DELIGHTFUL! I read the second book as well. So fun. My local indie also recommended Sisterhood of Sleuths by Jennifer Chambliss Bertman. I haven‘t read it yet, but I did check it out from the library.

Swifts: A Dictionary of Scoundrels

CatLass007 MG? I figured that it stands for middle grade? Thank you for the book recommendations. I definitely will check on them. 4d

Entitled: How Male Privilege Hurts Women | Kate Manne

pick

I finished this one up last weekend before my Libby loan expired. It's only my 2nd audiobook ever, and I learned nonfiction isn't going to work for me without a print copy. Keeping in mind that the mode probably affected my opinion of the book, I found this was good, but not great. The topics for each chapter are so very important, but I struggled to be engaged. It could also be that I'm just weary of intolerance and hate right now ⬇️

staci.reads and feel the temptation to bury my head in the sand. I won't. Stakes are too high. But, man. These reads are harder than they used to be 😔#Shesaid @Riveted_Reader_Melissa 2w

kspenmoll I can only do fiction on audiobooks! 2w

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @staci.reads I understand, the next 4 years (and hopefully not more) are going it be tough, and I feel it in my non-fiction reading already after 2 months 🫠 1w

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @kspenmoll for me it is totally narrator dependent. 😂 1w
