About this ebook

The feminist book they tried to ban in France ‘A delightful book’ Roxane Gay

Women, 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.

It's unfortunate that most of these "men" in the reviews are simply too hormonal to actually read the book instead of getting hysterical about the title of it. If they would just calm down and turn past the cover, the poor dears would find the author actually makes some great points and they might even agree with her. It's a shame really, but can you expect them, the weaker sex, to actually be intelligent enough to comprehend her words anyway? All they're good for is providing sperm and money after all. Now before you let your male rage get out of control, the above paragraph is a little something we call sarcasm. You can stop crying and hamfisting your keyboard now. Anyway, this book is great, it's clearly an outlet for the author to let loose her frustrations of dealing with men and honestly, as a woman myself, reading it helped me realize that no, I'm not alone in being frustrated by male violence on women, male stupidity, and male egotism.

About the author

I Hate Men is Pauline Harmange’s first book. Originally published by Monstrograph as Moi les hommes, je les déteste, it was subject to a censorship attempt by an adviser in France’s Ministry for Gender Equality in September 2020. Sales skyrocketed as a result and the French rights were then acquired by Éditions du Seuil, and the foreign rights snapped up by publishers around the world. Pauline Harmange lives in Lille.
