A very good essay which reflects on the phenomenon of men who appropriate feminism for their own gains. The author also does a good job arguing the importance of #MeToo for women and men. The factual discussions are nicely balanced with personal experiences, which helps you reflect on your own experiences with chauvo-feminists. To end with a nice quote from the book:
Shaking things up is a positive, forcing us all to rethink our attitudes and behaviour, but at the same time we need men to act out of empathy rather than fear and anxiety, to move forward with us.
