Fine made many valid points and backed them by research and studies. She didn't shy away from providing names in the scientific field and contradicting their findings.
However, the book got repetitive and at one point I just wanted to be done. Interesting sure but that's about it. The audiobook didn't help, the voice quality wasn't very good, not sure if the issue is from my audio or the real thing. It sounded too recorded. The voice also became kinda robotic without being actually that?
While I found it informative mostly, I wish it was shorter and didn't go into such detail sometimes... they just bored me. She did prove society's effect on our gender perception, education, parenting, etc. too. But yeah she could've made the same points in fewer pages (the book isn't long but for such content it is). Nonetheless, the topic she discussed is very important and most of us were guilty of it at some point, at least unconsciously. This book over 10 years old, I wonder what has changed since but I doubt it's much sadly.

Sorry it was mostly boring, Nicole. I get like that too when it goes overboard. Good review, though. 🌺🌺

She has a newer book that came out in 2018 I think? It covers what has changed and is slightly different, so you might prefer that one more, but I'd leave it a while since you found this one so boring!
Valid points Nicole. Sounds like it should have been a novella or magazine article. Great review!

I don't think I can read it but I wish I knew about it before starting this one!

One thing that has happened in the last 10 years is the replication crisis in (mostly social) psychology, showing that eg research about priming and stereotype threat is unreliable.
