Recipe for Persuasion by Sonali Dev

This book talked about so many important things, things we need to talk about now, like:
“I know a lot of women who agree that women are more manipulative than men.”
“Just like you’ve heard women say women gossip more, or pull each other down, or only feel loved when men shower them with material gifts. Patriarchal opinions that centuries of being called ‘the weaker sex’ and being given only the domestic space and our own bodies to claim our power with have had us internalize?”
Smashing the patriarchy is complicated business. It’s true that you can’t throw a punch without hurting your knuckles, but it’s time to stop telling women that it’s all or nothing, that it’s only valuable if it hurts.’
