Yes, this one was a bit hard to follow. I appreciate you stopping by and commenting. Thanks!T_stone wrote: ↑25 Dec 2018, 03:20 I usually find political books to be interesting to read because they have different opinions; based on the writer -- mostly educative, whatever angle the author writes from. But this book seems to lack every form of "intelligence". Glad you could finish this one. Thanks for yet another honest and succinct review.

Thanks.Alicia09 wrote: ↑27 Dec 2018, 12:13 It sounds like Miller was trying to please too many people, because he said that mass murderers are just expressing themselves and victims of sexual abuse should just deal with the "terribleness of life". If he is really trying to run for Presidency any time soon, he will probably win a lot of votes since murder and sexual abuse run rampant throughout this country. Thanks for the honest review. I'll make sure to skip this one.

I have mixed feelings about the Me Too movement. It's difficult to punish the guilty when we are guesstimating their innocence. My brother's friend was locked away for years in a military prison because of a false claim of sexual misconduct. Later, the lady accidentally let it slip that she lied to save herself from family embarrassment. She stole years from him and ended his career without any punishment.
Just to be clear, men that that perform vile sexual acts should be locked away. I'm just always wary of mob justice. A family member of mine has witnessed murders in Kenya from that mentallity.
Unconditional love is impossible until you can look at yourself without judgment.

Thank you for your thoughtful comments. Yes, it is hard to disagree that false accusation are tragic. No doubt, the Me Too movement has brought new opportunities for that. But as the movement's purpose is to begin to right centuries of misused power by men over women, I think the movement is necessary, and a long time coming. The choices of the few dishonest accusers and the consequences of that do not taint the importance of the movement for millions of women, many of whom, like your brother's friend, have been scarred irreparably. I guess we can agree that this book's author has an oversimplified and uninformed position on this matter. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts.JordanKSmith wrote: ↑29 Dec 2018, 12:57 I have mixed feelings about the Me Too movement.

I agree with you. It's a natural repercussion of centuries and eons of abuse. Whenever one group is breaking through oppression, the scales of justice wobble back and forth a bit before they stabilize. We are working out society's morals, and that is a complicated and painful task. I believe we can do it. It will just take some time.Eva Darrington wrote: ↑29 Dec 2018, 14:18Thank you for your thoughtful comments. Yes, it is hard to disagree that false accusation are tragic.

A good choice!

Sorry that you had trugde through such a terrible read. Even though the title of the book drew me in at first, I am definitely staying away from this one.
