It was quite difficult for me to finish the book, politics and religion aside. But, obviously, I got through it. 

Go me.

I like Traister's writing style and she seemed to know her topic very well. If there was someone I needed to ask a question about Hillary Clinton to, it would be her. One other thing I noted was that she was incredibly against Catholics (in just about every sense) but especially about the abortion issue. She was also prone to whining about how blacks stuck with blacks and feminists voted for Barack Obama. It was if she couldn't get over Hillary losing.

Well, newsflash:

She lost.

Another beef of mine: just because you are a feminist doesn't mean you are a left-wing nut. A conservative can be a feminist. A Catholic can be a feminist. A man can be a feminist. Feminism isn't just about "reproductive rights" as Traister so bluntly put it: it's much more than that.

It has seriously taken a monster effort to finish this book, and rest assured it will probably never be picked up and read through ever again.
