Invisible Women

This book was not something that I thought I was going to enjoy.  While I think that it is important to talk about the discriminatory practices in the modern world, I was worried that this book, like some others, was not going to do it in a significant way. Could I have been more wrong? I think that this book was very well written and that the points made (like the assumption about "chit chat" in the bathroom lines) are all points that aren't often discussed but should be. I remember talking to my friend about the difference between the Umich Frat parties and the ND house parties, and he made the general claim that "women have a better world because they can just get in anywhere".  I thought (and still think) that this is a bonks claim. He backed it up with the fact that he has been turned away from a frat that I have been allowed into.  When I then took it to the extreme and countered with the idea that femicide is growing in America and the deaths are often more violent and intimate, he went silent. I then brought up the idea that the gender pay gap is still in place and the conversation died there. Long story short, I think that everyone should read this book, it provides interesting insight into the world that we are growing up in and gives a better perspective on the male life v the female life.
