About this listen
An exploration of gender and desire from our most exciting new public intellectual
"Everyone is female, and everyone hates it."
So begins Andrea Long Chu’s genre-defying investigation into sex and lies, desperate artists and reckless politics, the smothering embrace of gender and the punishing force of desire.
Drawing inspiration from a forgotten play by Valerie Solanas - the woman who wrote the SCUM Manifesto and shot Andy Warhol - Chu aims her searing wit and surgical intuition at targets ranging from performance art to psychoanalysis, incels to porn, and even feminists like herself. Each step of the way, she defends the indefensible claim that femaleness is less a biological state of women and more a fatal existential condition that afflicts the entire human race - men, women, and everyone else. Or maybe she’s just projecting.
A thrilling new voice who has been credited with launching the "second wave" of trans studies, Chu shows listeners how to write for your life, baring herself with a morbid sense of humor and a mordant kind of hope.

Saddening, sickening misogyny
I read this because some of quotes from this book had been floating around the internet. Said quotes were gross and very dehumanizing towards women, but still I got told "they're taken out of context, have you even read the book?" They were right, I hadn't read the book. Unfortunately, said quotes were just as sickening if not more in their actual context, and the rest of the book added no information that would've made them less hurtful, dehumanizing and alienating for a woman to read. I guess if you're here because you've seen those quotes too, I can tell you that the context will only make you realize the actual extent of Andrea Long Chu's misogyny, it will not prove to you that those quotes are understandable when you read the book.
