hmmm I disagree with the argument that the polarisation of mankind is due to the male sexual model. yes patriarchy is the oldest form of oppression but I don't think that necessary means all form of discrimination have divulged from sexism tbh

this may be ome one of the hardest book to get thru, the violence inflicted on 6 year old hibo is acc so insane that I can never read few more pages at a time. I can't believe FGM is a practise in the 2026. Purity culture is acc the root of so much extreme misgony. I a finding it so hard not to think of her family as evil bc I know the intent is not but I find it hard to comprehend people think FGM is reasonable..

I feel faint reading the descriptions and I am barley 10 pages in. FGM is such a barbaric crime against humanity

reading the reviews of this book is almost as interesting as reading the book itself, it seems to have brought very polarising views

i like how she addresses that even though women are the givers of life, importance and significance have been given to men for their ability to take life. It's a very interesting juxtaposition.

not me getting a biology 101 lesson right now 😀😭

only in 15 pages, and there are already so many really insightful bits
I wasn't expecting the writing to feel so modern.
This acc going to be the longest and densest book I've ever read, pray for me😭

I'm only in the preface, and I know this book is gonna be so thought-provoking. He says,'writers are the surgeons of the hearts and soul of the community'. Wordddddd !!

it reads like a secret diary,love it!!

sasi is so iconic
ninus and semiramis, whatever is going on between them came out of nowhereeeeeee!

the characters are interesting but nothing is rlly happening plotwise

insightful but slightly depressing to realize how embedded misgony is

the way misgony is so embedded that it's not always necessarily with malicious intent is crazy !

what is going on between ones, and ninus reminds me of the death of vivek oji, if you know, you know

when I tell you, I love this woman, I loveeeeeeeee clytemnestra. She is everythingggggggg

ermm I was expecting an unfeeling baddie. Why is she acting so besotted with Jason

What an entertaining couple, deffo a Tia Williams most chaotic

Feel myself turning into a finance bro

very lyrical

just finished the first story, that couple acc deserved better

boring..she just obsesses over a boy who does not she exists

omggg this book acc unhinged
Julia Fox has lived 20 lives at 20

i am only on ch4, Julia's fox has had insane life, i dunno how she still alive.

Nabi story was so interesting and what happend to mr wahdati and nila is so sad. Also i loved Nabi and Mr Wahdati friendship, they were deffos platonic soulmates.

got high expectations for this book after the kite runner and a thousand splendid suns

carrie is so real(her ambition and determination is rlly relatable) , her father is so cute and her relationship with bowe is interesting.
