Review by SUGAR
May 29, 2024I can't even tell you how many times this book of 163 pages made me cry and tear up. I had literal breakdowns reading this book. This is the first Korean book I read, which I wanted to read for a very long time since I saw a lot of K-pop idols reading it, and now I know why this book enraged so many men's in Korea. Oh, I'm sorry, MISOGYNISTIC MEN'S.
This book basically deals with small acts of misogyny that women's feel throughout their lives on daily basis, which are also passed down through many generations, from grandmother to mother to daughter's and daughter-in-law's, which they don't even realise until they reach to a certain age. This book tells how these instances by society and men affect a woman, and if you think now in the 21st century things have changed, you are wrong; these things are still very prevalent in society. I mean even first-world countries like America dodn't allow abortion in 2024.
As an Asian woman and also a brown woman, this book is basically a mirror of the society I live in. The condition of women's is still like a inferior creatures, where that one creature is not even considered a living being. Society wants them to act like robots, with no feelings, just charge and work.
I think more than girls, boys should definitely read this book. I mean, it's small enough to complete in a week, even if you are a slow reader, and in return, you will understand why your mother, sister, girlfriend, and female friend despise society so much. Why they are scared of men's, and more importantly, why they choose bears over men.
