Let me start by saying that Emily Ratajkowski is a brilliant writer. These essays are vivid, captivating, and tender, but so empowered. She discusses the commodification of her body throughout her career, as well as the abuse and mistreatment she has faced in the brutal modelling industry with nuance and clarity. This feels like her way of taking back control of many of the narratives that have followed her career, though I'm not sure it there are many lessons the average Joe can take away from it and apply to their own lives. After all, Emily Ratajkowski is a singular talent.

the average Joe might not be able to, but I'm pretty sure the average Josephina can... there's lots of issues Emily discusses that are relevant to women's lives.

In response, I think men in particular could reflect if there are times in their lives where they abused their own, however subtle or less defined than “photographer/model, director/actor�, positions of power. Because if every woman has experienced some version of this, every man has been present for a version of this, whether perpetrator or not.

Maya and Katie - you’re so right!
Jack honey, i beg to differ
Wtf is this as a man how can i benefit from such a book convince me
if you as a man found no relatability in this book & came away from it without a takeaway that says everything about you and nothing about the book, hope that helps! 🫶
