Meaningful analysis ruined by Neoliberal Bias

Revisado: 11-24-21

I really enjoyed the differentiation between Misogyny and Sexism, as well as the new, more sociological definition of Misogyny. Sadly, the author's Neo-Liberal political bias makes the rest of the book like watching a pundit from Hillary Clinton's campaign pontificating on MSNBC. Most of the people from the Progressive Left voted for Jill Stein, unlike what the author implied, that everyone voted for Trump and that was why Clinton lost. Hillary Clinton lost because she was a horrible career politician. But of course the author would call such a view Misogyny at work, and that would be the end of discussion. People from the Progressive Left would gladly vote for Elisabeth Warren, and they voted Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez into the House. It was also funny that the author used so many fictional characters from a fictional world to explain Misogyny. Surely there are more realistic examples in the real world. Lastly, I remember reading The Giving Tree as a kid, and never once did I associate the tree with a female person. I didn't have a socialized gender association back then, and if anything, I thought of my father when I was reading Mr. Silverstein's book. It seems that the author's so deeply rooted in a gender-binary world that she immediately assigned a gender to the Giving Tree. Overall I like the first 1/3 of the book, but the examples she uses in the book fail to illustrate her points for me. I also treat her book less seriously for claiming repeatedly Clinton lost MAINLY because of Misogyny. No doubt she has encountered sexism and misogyny throughout her entire career. But that's not the MAIN reason she lost.

Segments get cut off or run into each other, it's like an unedited book with Infos randomly lump together. Lots of stuff completely missing.

Messages I got from the author:

1. Your weird, pagan, outlandish name is too inferior for us superior white Americans to even bother to learn and pronounce. Go get a proper Christian name like a real white American do so we won't laugh at you.

2. The Little Red Riding Hood was able to kill the big bad woof because she's a member of the National Rifle Association.

amazing writing and clarity, muddled collection

the stars do not reflect Ms. Morrison's writings but rather the careless way her writings were put together.
