Publisher's Synopsis
A NEW YORK TIMES TOP 10 BESTSELLER
'Should be recommended reading for every person on our planet' SCARLETT CURTIS
This is the extremism nobody talks about. It affects us all.
Imagine a world in which a vast network of incels and other misogynists are able to operate, virtually undetected. These extremists commit deliberate terrorist acts against women. Vulnerable teenage boys are groomed and radicalised. This is our world. Perhaps you didn't know, because we don't talk about it enough. It's time we did.
In this urgent and groundbreaking book, Laura Bates, bestselling author and founder of The Everyday Sexism Project, goes undercover. Men Who Hate Women is the result: a deep dive into these networks, through interviews with former members and the people fighting against them. Bates exposes how ideas are spread from the darkest corners of the internet - via trolls, media and celebrities - to schools, workplaces and the corridors of power, becoming a part of our collective consciousness.
Uncensored, and sometimes both shocking and terrifying - this is the uncomfortable truth about the world we live in, and what we must do to change it.
'Passionate and forensic, Bates produces a powerful feminist clarion call. The world needs to take notice' ANITA ANAND
'This is how change is made: by looking at uncomfortable things directly in the eye and not turning away. This book is a rallying cry to end suffering, for both women AND men' EMMA GANNON
'Laura Bates is showing us the path to both intimate and global survival' GLORIA STEINEM
