small, missable mention of tel aviv’s racism. Beautiful 🥲

She just essentially said that women dont need equal rights (spiritually) bc they do more work?

Women will do all the domestic work “bc it is in our nature as females”

I feel like I’m reading Tolcott Parsons, wtf is this

“Women are so much more complicated than men” Proceeds to explain a meme she saw

“The vessel, the female is a creation that is a bit unbalanced”

She also seems to think that men don’t have the ability to share?

She has solved drug addiction

‘decide “No more drugs”’

So far, this book has made me view Judaism as a Patriarchal religion which has strong overtones of anti-feminism. It seems the author was groomed by an older man at 16, married him, moved to Israel and adopted his patriarchal beliefs. She began to define her femininity by the stereotypes portrayed by society and her own reproductive organs.

“the amount of energy a home will have is governed by the female, the wife”

Incredible feminist literature

‘The female’ sounds so Andrew Tate

BOOM! Transphobia, could really see it coming tbh. No wonder the authors name is Karen. This book is also presented anti-feminist sentiment: “women are less than men”“women have a need for massages, manicured nails, hair-stylists and lovely clothes”“as a women you need to beautify that vessel”. She also defines women through their reproductive system. So far, racist, transphobic and anti-feminist.

Author moved to Israel, might not be the right book for me

Singer is to humility what cancer is to life

If u take a shot every time Singer names a billionaire, you would be dead by now. I am 90 pages in, there are 214 pages.

started with promise, but Singer randomly dismissed systematic change attacking successful socialist countries, eg Cuba, + repeating blatant propaganda while ignoring sanctions placed on these countries. He then sucks off billionaires like Buffet + Gates despite that if they followed his main argument they would barely own 1% of what they do now. Singer lost all credibility, in losing the radical promise of this book
