Bruised but not beaten, Graham Linehan explains why he chose the hill of women and girls' rights to die on—and why, despite the hardship of cancellation, he's not coming down from it any time soon.

Legend.

A profoundly courageous and humane work. Graham Linehan is a hero who will be remembered for speaking honestly when few would.

Terrible
Revisado: 04-27-22
Painfully cheesy and poorly written. Felt like some creepy guy writing his fantasy about teenage girls. Poor choice on my part.

Teenage girls are taking courses of testosterone and disfiguring their bodies. Parents are undermined; experts are over-relied upon; dissenters in science and medicine are intimidated; free speech truckles under renewed attack; socialized medicine bears hidden consequences; and an intersectional era has arisen in which the desire to escape a dominant identity encourages individuals to take cover in victim groups. Every person who has ever had a skeptical thought about the sudden rush toward a non-binary future but been afraid to express it - this book is for you.

Good for parents
Revisado: 01-24-22
Not the best of the 3 recent gender critical books and it definitely isn't the one to give to the woke in your lives you might be trying to wake up but the last 3 hours or so get to the root of the pain this ideology is inflicting on women and girls better than any other. The author almost lost me early on when she casually defines "anime" as anthromorphic cartoons popular with furries. I don't like most anime or any furries, but it's such a blatantly wrong definition it undermines the authors basic credibility. This book's real value lies in the information and support it offers to parents and teens caught up in it. BTW, Kathleen Stock's "Material Girls" is probably the best of the 3 and the one to recommend to your liberal/woke/progressive people and Helen Joyce's "Trans" to those skeptics interested a thorough debunking.

Absolutely incredible book. It owes as much to Attenborough as Asimov. I can't recommend enough.

In Sons of Cain - a book that fills the gap between dry academic studies and sensationalized true crime - investigative historian Peter Vronsky examines our understanding of serial killing from its prehistoric anthropological evolutionary dimensions in the pre-civilization era (c. 15,000 BC) to today. Delving further back into human history and deeper into the human psyche than Serial Killers - Vronsky's 2004 book, which has been called "the definitive history of the phenomenon of serial murder" - he focuses strictly on sexual serial killers.

Interesting but questionable research
Revisado: 09-26-19
The author has some seriously fascinating theories and I was fascinated by the cases laid out. but in the last chapter he referenced a case that was local to me and his info was so basically wrong it made me question the authenticity of everything else he wrote. Hint: there's no such place as "West Mesa, NM". Anyway, it's also extremely graphic. This book seems almost like one of the pulp men's crime magazines he blames so much of the serial killer phenomenon on. I recommend it for critical thinkers who can listen to the authors general theories while not taking it as factual science.
