‘Laura Bates has done it again. From bantz to outright brutality,
she exposes the landscape of misogyny. Passionate and forensic,
Bates produces a powerful feminist clarion call. The world needs to
take notice. Things must change.’
*Anita Anand*
'A book that is a challenging and sobering read but also brave,
meticulously researched - and vital to anyone serious about
tackling misogyny.'
*Anna James*
'A book of courage and tenacity. Laura's humanity shines
through. She is always a voice worth paying attention to.
She continues to fight a battle that should have ended long ago and
she reminds us that we must be part of it.'
*Robin Ince*
'Laura Bates continues to be one of the most powerful, vulnerable
and incredible feminist voices of our time. She is unafraid of
tackling the most complex, dark and nuanced aspects of the
patriarchy and shining a light on them in order to change the
world. Men Who Hate Women is a fascinating, mind-blowing and deeply
intelligent book that should be recommend reading for every person
on our planet. Laura Bates is my HERO and two chapters into this
book, she will be yours too.'
*Scarlett Curtis*
'Be prepared. This book is shocking. Just as we thought we knew all
we needed to know about misogyny, here comes the bad news. Dark and
menacing, this investigation of toxic masculinity is a wake-up call
to men and women who want a better world.'
*Helena Kennedy, QC*
'In Men Who Hate Women, Laura Bates offers the alternative red pill
to those who favour love, logic and humanity over debilitating
hate. Bates’ exploration of the manosphere - from the monetised
toxicity of social and mainstream media - to Number Ten, the
Whitehouse and complacent law enforcers, should wake up and shame
all of the above.
If its brutally forensic honesty is sometimes painful to read,
imagine what it was to live, investigate and write. When once more,
we award medals to our bravest feminist heroes, Laura Bates gets
the Purple Heart.
Young people, parents, teachers, journalists and legislators should
read this important book. All those keyboard warriors pounding away
in the dark, should dare to read it. The only thing to fear is fear
itself.'
*Shami Chakrabarti*
‘Laura Bates is a total powerhouse. This book is hard to read;
triggering, unfiltered, shocking and urgent. Laura has done
again what she does best: gone there, all the way, to the darkest
corners and brought all the research, anecdotes and interviews to
the surface for us all to see. This is how change is made: by
looking at uncomfortable things directly in the eye and not turning
away. This book is a rallying cry to end suffering, for both women
AND men.'
*Emma Gannon*
'Laura Bates has written a fearless and unflinching account of how
the most prevalent human rights abuse on the planet, the
mistreatment of women and girls at the hands of men, is being given
new energy and reach through contemporary technologies and the
strategies of extremism. This is a vital and urgent book, detailing
not just the growing threat of extreme misogyny and the
mainstreaming of its message but also how through allowing this to
happen we are exposing girls and women to increasing levels of
danger and abandoning countless boys and men to the coruscating
damage of its influence. If the warnings of this book were to be
heeded and acted upon the world would take a significant step
towards creating kinder, safer, better societies for all, men and
women alike.’
*Owen Sheers*
'Brilliantly fierce and eye-opening'
*Guardian*
‘If you only buy one book this month, then may we recommend Laura
Bates’ Men Who Hate Women.'
*Stylist*
‘Men Who Hate Women is a disturbing, powerful read and you can
only admire the courage of Bates.’
*The Independent*
'Laura has taken on a critical issue, one that society can no
longer afford to overlook or trivialize: the reality of
misogynistic extremism and the central role it plays today in
family and social breakdowns, proliferating hate, terroristic
violence, and political instability. This book touches on every
aspect of our lives - personal, professional, political. It's
unflinching, brave, and necessary.'
*Soraya Chemaly*
'Men Who Hate Women has the power to spark social change.'
*Sunday Times*
‘A book everyone should read’
*Observer*
‘Let’s hope this book stirs a reaction of a different kind, opening
our eyes to the threat of extreme misogyny and prodding officialdom
into action.’
*Independent*
‘Bates’s book is a compelling, timely investigation into
contemporary gender politics’
*Observer*
'I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s really important that you
read it. This is a book about a very real and growing threat to
women and it needs everyone’s attention.'
*Rachel Parris*
'The new book is extraordinary and courageous and vitally
important. It’s a deeply disturbing read but I’m very glad to have
read it.'
*Marcus Brigstocke*
'The killing of women because we are women is not only the most
common crime in the world, it is also the single biggest indicator
of whether a nation is violent in its streets and will use violence
against another nation. Laura Bates is showing us the path to both
intimate and global survival.'
*Gloria Steinem*
