I’m sad to say I didn’t connect with this book as much as I had hoped to. I’ll continue to read bell hooks’ works. While it may be an unfair critique, her use of heteronormativity and the binary gender construct took me out of the book. I agree that the patriarchy exists, that all people suffer under it, that both men and women exist, and that there is a majority of cisgender heterosexual people in the world. But I disagree that so much of this book needed to focus on that.

Estoy de acuerdo con muchas de las criticas que he leído al respecto de este libro. La perspectiva super hetero, el enfoque espiritual desde un punto cristiano, y la falta de fuentes para sus conclusiones son cansados después de un rato. Para el punto en el que llegue al capitulo sobre espiritualidad ya no me dieron muchas ganas de continuar leyendo, como quiera continue y qué bueno que lo hice pero definitivamente me tomo esfuerzo. Sobre la falta de fuentes y datos, entiendo la critica pero también simpatizo con razonamiento de porque escribir así -que sea accessible para cualquier audiencia -, especialmente porque previo a empezar el libro yo tenia la preocupación de que iba a ser muy complicado de entender. A final de cuentas creo que él no acordar con bell hooks en todo fue un buen ejercicio de reflexión.
