From “one of the most emotionally exacting, mercilessly candid, deeply funny, and intellectually rigorous writers of our time” (Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild) comes a seminal new audiobook that reaches surprising truths about feminism, the Trump era, and the Resistance movement. You won’t be able to stop thinking and talking about it.
In the fall of 2016, New York Times best-selling author Meghan Daum began working on a book about the excesses of contemporary feminism. With Hilary Clinton soon to be elected, she figured even the most fiercely liberal of her friends and readers could take the criticisms in stride. But after the election, she knew she needed to do more, and her nearly completed manuscript went in the trash. What came out in its place is the most sharply observed and all-encompassing work of her career.
In this gripping new work, Meghan examines our country’s most intractable problems with clear-eyed honesty instead of exaggerated outrage. With passion, humor, and most importantly, nuance, she tries to make sense of the current landscape - from Donald Trump’s presidency to the #MeToo movement and beyond. In the process, she wades into the waters of identity politics and intersectionality, thinks deeply about the gender wage gap, and tests a theory about the divide between Gen Xers and millennials.
This signature work may well be the first to capture the essence of this era in all its nuances and contradictions. No matter where you stand on its issues, this audiobook will strike a chord.

We valued resilience. Todays youth values fairness. We got on licenses the day we turned 16. These kids don’t mind being dropped off by mommy. We actually had a cool kind of gender equity and acceptance. They focus on imagined differences. Most important we grew up on “sticks and stones break our bones but words can never hurt me.”
Great stuff. It’s almost like there’s a non-crazy center forming in elite intellectual life. We can only hope.

That disclaimer aside, this is a fantastic book and a wonderful listen. This is the book that I wish I could write – the one that encapsulates most of my thoughts about most of the problems in our ridiculous current culture. Reading it made me feel like I wasn’t alone.
I appreciate Megan so much – for her courage, for her nuance, for her thoughtful and intelligent ability to articulate what, exactly, is going on. And I love her especially for being a bad-ass Gen X b*** like myself (OK, that’s an inside joke for those who have read the book, but that is basically how I actually think of her).
If you are a historically liberal person who no longer recognizes your own tribe or your place within it anymore, read this book to feel less alone. You won’t regret it!
Meghan, if you’re reading this, just… Thank you. Thank you for The Unspeakable, for A Special Place in Hell, for this book, and for all your writing. You are a gem!!!

I liked her candor and humor, but I could've used more data, and the book was a bit short.
I guess I'll have to wait for the definitive genx takedown of the modern PC left, but this was a good start.
very enjoyable
