Maya Simmons’s Reviews > All About Love: New Visions > Status Update

The last two chapters have been the most impactful by far; the author’s takes on mutuality and romance feel very applicable to everyday relationship dynamics.

Just read the chapter on commitment that had seemingly nothing to say about commitment.

I feel like there was ample opportunity to talk about language like “dating” vs. “talking” and the implications that has for our understanding commitment as an integral part in love.

I would have also liked to see an exploration of what marriage means for commitment from a non-religious perspective.

So far, I’m wishing there were more data points or citations to follow up on some of the claims made throughout. Although a lot of the points made ring true, some of the commentary immediately comes across as dated.

“Men writing about love always testify that they have received love.” — I would love to see this re-examined in the context of incel sub culture.
