Expert & User Opinions
Reviewers and experts generally find the book to be a valuable and insightful contribution to sociolinguistic studies.
According to a review in the International Journal of Communication, the book is particularly suited for undergraduate or graduate students taking courses on language, gender/sexuality, and linguistic anthropology due to its accessible approach and detailed research methods.
Reviewers on Goodreads described the research as "terrific and quite frightening," particularly the exploration of the "manosphere," but also highlighted a "great chapter on Brooklyn Nine-Nine to cheer everyone up".
One review from the LSE Review of Books suggests the book challenges readers to understand how the "reinvigoration of men's rights as a reaction to social progressivism is a destructive force that threatens progress".
