Why God Is a Woman by Nin Andrews

5.0

Okay, that was just so fucking good. Simply fascinating. Unbelievably groundbreaking.

THIS WAS SO EYE-OPENING. It played out some main points so boldly and so simply that when you read it, you would say "shit, that's really what we go through as women.". LIKE IT WAS SO SIMPLE. like how?? SO. SIMPLE. YET. SO. ACCURATE. AND. PRECISE.

I have to admit that, for a moment, I was so lost in the book. I found myself in the streets she described. I found myself as the first ruling sex. I found that my gender is just as strong in real life as it is described in the book. The book was so open about so many issues women face in our society that was presented in a man's situation. It talked about sex, health, work, social roles and responsibilities, feelings, hygiene, beauty, and mutilation of ones body for the sake of being desired by the opposite sex. like, are you fucking kidding me? holy shit this book was too fucking good.

As I read along, all I saw was bronze men with thick thighs and large biceps worrying in the mirror if they're desired enough to fit women's sexual stipulations. I saw strong looking men with large feathery wings in the arms of a woman, curled into a ball and chewing with juice dripping on their chins as they ate plums from a woman's strong hands. I saw men staying at home to cook and clean and take care of the children as women came back every night from working all day in large offices and high buildings. It was a beautiful and fascinating thing to imagine. This book is one of my top favorites. Loved the story, loved the idea, loved the protagonist, absolutely loved everything about this book. I love this book. You should love this book. I love this book. (again)
