I’m really enjoying this book so far and have found it helpful, particularly because it explores an issue, well, multiple issues, I’ve been addressing in therapy. one aspect that didn’t sit well with me though, is that it occasionally feels a bit sexist. Some passages seem to lean into a women-hating-women narrative, which I’m obviously not fond of

update: I found out that it was published in 2010. That doesn’t make sexism acceptable in any way, but things were different then compared to today. The subtler forms of sexism I noticed seem real and tied to that specific period. It wasn’t very long ago, but thankfully it still feels distinct from the present.
