One man horrifically harasses women and then complains for 150 pages when someone does the same thing to him.
So, it’s actually pretty well written and an easy read, but is there really any reason to publish a book centered on female-abuse? About how one man “gets off” on emotionally hurting women, then asks us to feel sympathy for him when a woman uses him the same way?
Aisling was truly the hero of this story. One of the biggest “good for her” books I’ve ever read, actually. I hope she continues for fuck over men in peace.
Oh, and drop her name so I can support her photography. I want to buy her book.
