BROTHER DOES THIS GUY STINK
The amount of misogyny and toxic masculinity sucks. Like you can write an unlikeable guy to talk about toxic masculinity, but this wasn’t a well execution at all.
Bro really hated two underaged girls (not even teenagers) and was commenting on how one was trash “just like her mother” after he described her developing boobs at the age of twelve. Rubbed me the wrong way, I couldn’t stand how he referred to every single woman as either meek and stupid or trash, a whore, or a bitch. I was hoping for some reflection or critical thinking but none of that was in this book — or at least the 60 pages I managed to get through.
OMG ALSO the fat phobia and body shaming!! Yuck.
