On this International Women's Day, can I please get a book to read that isn't so full of internalized misogyny and toxic masculinity that it oozes out around the pages in cartoon stink lines that reek of cheap tequila, drugstore cologne, chlamydia, and self-hating femininity?
No? Oh. Okay. Back to the parade of manwhores and the spineless virgins who love them, I guess.

We will strive together to find or inspire any author to write about awesome heroines and men who love respect them without the toxic masculinity!
I agree with you Kara! It’s so hard to find decent books. I’m glad we all have each other! Happy Women’s Day!

I agree, and that's the sad thing. Women are loving these books about douchebags because they're conditioned to think that they deserve to be treated like shit. That they don't deserve better and shouldn't ask for it. We're told from the time we're little girls that boys who are mean are doing it because they like us, and if we just hang on, they'll learn to use their words like big boys and tell us how much they love us. Bullshit, man. Total bullshit. I try not to get angry, but every day I go through the new releases in Amazon, and I can't read almost 99% of them because of this garbage! *Rage face*
Anyway, happy Women's Day. I hope today is free of trash men for you!

We keep telling each other about non-garbage authors and keep buying their books and supporting them, hoping that they keep on writing what we love. (Until they start backsliding and disappointing us, Cynthia Eden I'm looking in your general direction...).

Anyway, I tried a book, which was published today, on an International Women's Day, and well, I almost destroyed my Kindle. It was a long time I read such weak and pathetic portrayal of a heroine. But I learned not to get disappointed anymore. It's useless, really. I just don't fit into the profile of a main reader of CR. And thanks God for that.
Happy Women's Day! 😍😘😍
