For a movement that is meant to represent all women, it often centers on those who already have most of their needs met.” Instead of a framework that focuses on helping women get basic needs met, all too often the focus is not on survival but on increasing privilege.

No, the real reason I hate this book so much is that it established a deeply retarded model of European-American male coolness that continues to plague our culture today.
