I Hate Men: More than a banned book, the must-read on feminism, sexism and the patriarchy for every woman
von Pauline Harmange
The feminist book they tried to ban in France‘A delightful book’ Roxane GayWomen, especially feminists and lesbians, have long been accused of hating men. Our instinct is to deny it at all costs. (After all, women have been burnt at the stake for admitting to less.)But what if mistrusting men, disliking men – and yes, maybe even hating men – is, in fact, a useful response to sexism? What if such a response offers a way out of oppression, a means of resistance? What if it even offers a path to joy, solidarity and sisterhood?In this sparkling essay, as mischievous and provocative as it is urgent and serious, Pauline Harmange interrogates modern attitudes to feminism and makes a rallying cry for women to find a greater love for each other – and themselves.

Rezension von HelenRead I Hate Men on my Kindle and halfway through I was like: yeah okay, this needs to live on my shelf as a little feminist trophy. So I ordered the physical copy IMMEDIATELY. Some books belong in your hands. This is one of them. Let’s be real for a second… 80% of the negative reviews for this book? Men. And honestly, the way they prove her point with every angry comment?? Chef’s kiss. Beautiful. Poetic. The title? Yes, it’s meant to be provocative. That’s the whole point. And the best part is that the content is actually thoughtful, nuanced, and way more about the emotional labor and exhaustion of dealing with patriarchy than just straight-up “man-bashing” (although let’s be honest… that’s also fun sometimes). It’s short, punchy, and made me feel VERY seen. Also: Pauline’s writing style? Sharp, witty, and totally unbothered by fragile egos. We love to see it. If the title scares you, congrats — you’re probably exactly the kind of man she’s talking about. That said, if you’ve read a lot of provocative feminist literature already, this probably won’t feel super new or groundbreaking. But for me as a beginner? It was exactly what I needed. Short, accessible, and still incredibly interesting. Honestly, I would’ve gladly read 100 more pages — but even as it is, I thought it was such a solid, powerful read. Especially as an introduction to feminist writing. Anyway: 10/10, would recommend to every slightly ragey feminist out there. And also to men… but only if they promise to actually read it and not just cry about the title.
