Men Explain Things to Me (Paperback)
By Rebecca Solnit

On Our Shelves Now

I was nodding and "mhmming" throughout this entire book. Picking up on the nuances of the culture of silencing women, Solnit draws connections to larger issues of violence against women. A resonating read for anyone who thinks they may have been a culprit mansplainer and anyone who has ever been mansplained to. A necessary read for anyone who thinks they've never mansplained at all. (You have; read this book.)

This was such a welcome rebuttal to the deafening white noise of the mainstream feminist movement, the one that prioritizes personal success over systemic change and reinforces oppressive power structures. This straight-to-the-point manifesto posits the necessity of a feminism that is anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist, anti-racist, anti-homophobic, anti-transphobic, anti-ableist, and anti-sexist—in other words, a movement that will make the world a better place for everyone. Reading it, I had to resist the urge to underline every single word

The authors have produced an insightful and thorough review of polyamory and non-monogamy. This book will meet the needs of those with passing curiosities on the subject just as well as those with ample lived experience of polyamory, taking the reader all the way from intro to intricacy. Those who enjoyed The Ethical Slut will love this updated guide to today's world of polyamory.

Yeong-hye has a nightmare and decides to become a vegetarian. Her decision, a small act of independence, sets off a series of events that cascade outward into her marriage and family-life with unforeseeable consequences. This book is feminist and freaky and I love it.

The store is conveniently located next to Elliott Bay, where visitors can commit suicide after reading the staff picks.

Cruising Utopia is an urgent intervention in contemporary thought, a call for reclaiming the utopian in this historical moment that has purportedly lost all conception of the future. Part manifesto, part criticism, part philosophical meditation, the essays in this book trace the queer utopian impulse of numerous works and aesthetic traditions that are ultimately engaged with the task of imagining another world and realizing that world in the now.

Although written as a sermon, Michael Eric Dyson’s Tears We Cannot Stop evokes no images of a man standing behind the pulpit or even of a professor at the front of a lecture hall. No such guise of authority is needed; his deeply personal accounts of him and his family living while black in America, tied closely with his take on many recent, more public outcries of black Americans, speaks for itself. Dyson is not asking for sympathy, nor even an admission of guilt from white America; he simply asks America to stop looking at history with its rose-colored glasses, to listen, and to join in forging a new path. Challenging, direct, and hard to forget.

Surely you men OP and everyone in this thread

I come in here all the time asking for Fascist literature just to see them get all tight-faced and upset.

There’s also a cafe in the back employed by girls with hormone moist aches and men with hormone boobs, walls lined with framed photos of RBG and other feminist/black people in recent history

they look like nice people, somewhat interesting recs sprinkled among them but they have to sell too many modern american authors so they never stood a chance

holy fuck they have a lot of staff

>>13762593
Why do they all look so weird? It's like when you look at thai girls in Pattaya they all have some slight deformity or defect in their face and you can just tell there is something abnormal about them. It's teh same thing with every single face on this webpage.

Observe how the leftist psychology operates. Neither is the staff female, nor does OP's post contain a single value judgement. Yet, this person immediately projects his own insecurities onto an innocent thread and shames the OP. His belief system is not based on fact, only pure sentiment that derives from his own neurotic condition.

>>13764807
Regular people always look weird in at least one way

>>13764865
no they dont

It’s a cool shop. Last time I went in the woman behind the counter wasn’t terribly nice. They have a good selection but yeah it’s expensive. Western Washington is known for local bookstores. I’d rather spend money at a place like this a corporate one but yeah, almost everything is full price.

This link is fucking cringe though. Fuck Seattle.

>>13762593
if you read their taste's they're not that bad, I don't see the big deal here. Not all of it is my cup of tea, but who cares?

>>13764596
their employee demographic is the type to also have a job teaching yoga or spin classes on the side so they're all part-time
