Laura Bates Returns

Book Shambles

Laura Bates returns to Book Shambles to talk to Robin and Josie about her new book Men Who Hate Women. They chat about the dark misogyny on the internet uncovered when writing the book, what to say at parties when someone makes an offensive joke and point out the book is called Men Who Hate Women, not All Men Hate Women.

It’s important to note that due to the content of Laura’s book this episode does contain discussion about topics of abuse, sexual assault and other subject matters that may upset or cause triggering responses for some listeners.

To hear 15 extra minutes of chat, including why Josie struggles with a particular Netflix show, become a supporter at patreon.com/bookshambles
