There are some important points made in this book, but I thought the book would focus more on praxis than it did philosophy. At some point, the ideas being raised are the same ones I've heard a thousand times and my eyes just kind of glazed over. There are also rhetorical tricks utilized by the authors that really, really irritate me (e.g. "This view of our motivations will not be able to survive an honest reading of our book." How nice to be able to frame yourself, and subsequently your possible detractors, in this way!).

"In 2006, Judith Lorber, professor (now emerita) of sociology and gender studies, summarized the four main tendencies of this "paradigm shift". 1. Making gender - not biological sex - central." As someone who is concerned with both discrimination based on gender and discrimination based on sex, this change in focus in modern day social justice circles is something I have noticed and it is something I find worrying.
