read the chapters on male entitlness to consent and healthcare, the healthcare chapter in particular was SO interesting. I learned that studies have shown that people tend to be more sympathetic and worried about boy infants crying than girl infants?? As if gender bias couldn’t get more insane omfg

Winston wants that O’Brien cookie so effin bad bro

wow four whole pages 😭 I’m failing the 75 soft fr

Learning about so many disturbing cases 😭 this book has had so much research put into it I would highly recommend it!!

Mr Charington being a member of the thought police has not shocked me but i don’t remember anything that really foreshadowed it?? Also do we think I can finish this by tomorrow night LOL I have like 80 pages left and just hit part 3

so far I’m enjoying the deep dive into incel culture. I had such a surface level understanding of it before this so I’m really appreciating how Manne is slowly building her arguments/points

Goldstein doesn’t half yap 😭 whilst I do think this section is interesting I think it’s just a bit overly repetitive and could feasibly be shortened and have the same effect?? idk sue me

I’m also still interested to see how this ends because it all feels so hopeless lol

The pace I’m reading this book is acc abysmal guys don’t perceive me 💔💔

So for the first page of Julia and Winston’s relationship I was like okay this is cute (I love a good age gap yearning moment) and then um. Winston ruined it.

Man I do not have high hopes for how Orwell is gonna write Julia (i may have been warned ❤️)

Okay still here but I just want to add I’m so excited to see where this book goes!! Like literally anything could happen here, will big brother be overthrown?? Will Winston be caught and killed?? I’m so lucky in the fact I’ve never had this book spoiled for me and I’m really excited to actually experience it over the next couple days lol

can’t stop won’t stop (I hit part 2!)

this book is like crack it’s so addictive

Winston you interesting little critter

help is this where the term ‘thought police’ came from ?? 😭

finally getting to properly see Eric omg

Erik thinking he looks normal in his mask but the persian describing it as the only time he can almost endure to look at him 😭😭 oh erik…

where did she go go

ohh that chapter was so good I’m obsessed with how Leroux describes Eric

Getting close to an Erik appearance 🙏🙏
