Men Speak Out

…is an AMAZING book. I’m about a hundred pages from the end and I can tell this is going to be one of the best books I have ever read. It is a collection of essays written by feminist men about “gender, sex, and power”. The book is divided into four sections and I must say I devoured the first one, “Masculinity and Identity”. The other sections are “Sexuality”, “Feminism”, and “Points and Perspectives”. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys feminism. Trigger warning though! Some of the essays are highly disturbing, and some viewpoints are conflicting, so obviously you may not agree with all of them. I sure didn’t. Again, the book is Men Speak Out: views on gender, sex, and power.

My Reading List

I have a few books on the reading list right now and I’m going to be catching up on my reading a bit over the next few weeks. Just wanted to post the books that I'm going to be reading; and when I'm finished reading, reviews will be coming!
Dreams From My Father… Barack Obama (I know it’s old but I wasn’t in to politics when it came out)
The Audacity of Hope… Barack Obama (same as above)
Lord Save Us From Your Followers… Dan Merchant
Men Speak Out… Shira Tirrant (currently reading this book and I love the first essay so far!)
When I get some more on the list they will definitely be reviewed here.
