Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The modern fable of LarryBarry tells us a lot about our current moment in history. It seems that a lot of men are confusing being asked not to violate other people’s sexual boundaries with being forbidden to participate in basic human activities such as dancing, dating, chatting, walking around, going to work, and telling jokes.
#2 The term witch hunt is being used more and more to describe the modern-day witch hunts against rapists. It is being used to deflected any credible accusation against a man, and turn it into an unfair and unfounded smear campaign.
#3 Trump is a master of branding himself as true, whether it’s true or not. He knows that in America, all you have to do is say something is true for it to become true.
#4 A vast and verdant journalistic subgenre has sprung up around the president’s passion for lying: websites devoted solely to fact checking, ever-lengthening lists of falsehoods at major media outlets.

#1

The modern fable of LarryBarry tells us a lot about our current moment in history. It seems that a lot of men are confusing being asked not to violate other people’s sexual boundaries with being forbidden to participate in basic human activities such as dancing, dating, chatting, walking around, going to work, and telling jokes.

#2

The term witch hunt is being used more and more to describe the modern-day witch hunts against rapists. It is being used to deflected any credible accusation against a man, and turn it into an unfair and unfounded smear campaign.

#3

Trump is a master of branding himself as true, whether it’s true or not. He knows that in America, all you have to do is say something is true for it to become true.

#4

A vast and verdant journalistic subgenre has sprung up around the president’s passion for lying: websites devoted solely to fact checking, ever-lengthening lists of falsehoods at major media outlets.

#5

Donald Trump is rape culture’s id, and he has always been able to do whatever he wants because of his status.

#6

The Me Too movement, which was started by activist Tarana Burke in 2006, has since exploded into a large-scale cultural reckoning that has not remotely faded.

#7

Men have been very concerned about the thing where men get into trouble. As soon as powerful men began apologizing for their actions and retreating to their mansions for a few months before booking sold-out comeback tours, other men began asking questions about redemption, forgiveness, and when reckoning goes too far and turns into a witch hunt.

#8

We have to be honest about why Bill Cosby is the only high-profile #MeToo perpetrator who’s seen a day in prison as of 2019. Accountability hurts, but what’s the alternative. The way things were.

#9

If the Left’s loathing of George W. Bush helped fuel the political revolution that elected Barack Obama, what kind of revolution might Trump engender. We can only see glimpses so far, but the momentum is real.
