Men Who Hate Women examines the rise of secretive extremist communities who despise women and traces the roots of misogyny across a complex spider web of groups. It includes eye-opening interviews with former members of these communities, the academics studying this movement, and the men fighting back.

Women's rights activist Laura Bates wrote this book as someone who has been the target of many hate-fueled misogynistic attacks online. At first, the vitriol seemed to be the work of a small handful of individual men...but over time, the volume and consistency of the attacks hinted at something bigger and more ominous. As Bates went undercover into the corners of the internet, she found an unseen, organized movement of thousands of anonymous men wishing violence (and worse) upon women.

In the book, Bates explores:

  • Extreme communities like incels, pick-up artists, MGTOW, Men's Rights Activists and more
  • The hateful, toxic rhetoric used by these groups
  • How this movement connects to other extremist movements like white supremacy
  • Where this ideology shows up in our everyday lives in mainstream media, our playgrounds, and our government

This was a hard book to listen to only for its brutal honesty and revealing nature of the vial things being bounced around on line and manifesting in our day-to-day lives. A must-read for awareness and shifting the conversation forward.

This book does a good job of looking into the issues that men can be swept up into. As a man who grew up gaming and on the internet a lot of this wasn’t a surprise this affects men & women on the internet daily. I think the author does mean to pull people away from the manosphere and other areas, but I still always got the feeling she was bashing men at times. Not intentionally though just because that bad side is so bad. I want to see us pull away from these stupid women hating ways on the internet, but this book is more for people on our side and not people who are on the border to falling in IMO. Worth a read definitely

Good look at the background issues

As a psychotherapist, I wish I had this book earlier in my career. With hindsight being 20/20, hearing some of these words, phrases, and statements being said by my mandated (by courts for treatment) clients who were perpetrators of abuse I now understand. The system of therapy failed them as we didn't understand and address the greater underlying thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Now I have been "red pilled" in a good way.

Misogyny is real & it’s everywhere. This book is an eye opener & a must read for every parent. Both girls & boys are collateral damage in the digital & real world we live in. Media & social media are the main culprits. We all must wake up & do something before it’s too late. The book is very well written & supported by unbelievable & undeniable facts & stats. Laura Bates - you are an inspiration & a role model of strength.

Must read for every parent!

I was shocked by the statistics and anecdotes, but Bates wrapped up her work with some advice and instances of positive change. The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is because the audiobook version doesn’t provide sources and citations, which, I understand, as it’s an audiobook. But I still feel they should be provided so we, as readers, can further our critical thinking and analysis of this global phenomenon.

Informative & Hopeful

Good information. Once I realized there are many men who hate women things began to fall into place. It answered many questions and would have saved me many wasted years of anger, sadness and confusion. My only disappointment with this book is that it didn’t include a chapter on women who hate women.

I wish I’d learned this in my teens.

I was aware of incels before this book but I didn’t realize how widespread and comprehensive the problem actually is. I feel inclined to get more involved and do something.

Much larger problem than I thought

Bates does not sugar coat the situation. It’s important for us to understand how these groups are increasing in size and the impact their hatred of women has on society.
