I would recommend this book because I feel it was written in good faith.As far as sociology books go, it's surely one of the less data-heavy ones, but the author's arguments about the iteration of feminism she's referring to don't really require hard statistical data; the experience of being an active Internet user for a few months would provide enough personal experience for the reader to grasp the relevance of her points.The book is moralistic and prescriptive, even persuasive at times. To be brief, it is a tirade with a few exhortations and a few patient explanations sprinkled in. To give it the same serious consideration one would give to a more data-driven, quantitatively scientific work surely breaks a rule about treating opinion the same as fact when doing scholarly work. Nevertheless, I think it is worthwhile reading for students or just the general public. It may be better categorized as a philosophy book than a social science book; nevertheless, I would recommend it to any aspiring social scientist as a book that fulfills the moral imperative of sociology.The author discusses Andrea Dworkin as an important and polarizing person in the history of feminism, and it was worthwhile for me to read her work for the first time as well.Overall, I would recommend this book for anyone interested in a genuinely well-intentioned, good-faith perspective on the state and direction of the feminist movement, and, because of this strong moral grounding, I would recommend it above faddish self-help books for anyone seeking spiritual guidance or personal improvement or growth. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A key for being authentic- read and pass it along *by L***L on Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2017* Nice preliminary intro into understanding true feminist thought. It is not a big or lengthy book, nor is it strictly informational. It is rather, as the title suggests, a passionate manifesto written in simple, fierce prose. After reading it you may feel that you were expecting more, but the thing about this book is it sticks with you and makes you really think. It effectively presents what is wrong with the term in our popular culture and what behavior has co-opted it. Believe Jessa, not the current stars. There are not any magical instructions, nor 'how to' step-by-step lists for how to think more intellectually or like a 'feminist' in this book. Rather, it offers more of a philosophical approach and presents the key for changing the way you think. It does discuss and recommend further reading and writers as well, in a way that really piques your interest. Every woman and mature girl should read this book, as well as every man. In order to win this fight, we need equal and willing participation from all kinds. Knowledge and understanding is power. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Not at all what I expected (and better for it) *by R***S on Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2017* Full disclosure: I bought this based on the title alone. I expected something along the lines of "modern feminism has gone too far and it's not for me." Boy was I wrong! In Jessa Crispin's view, third-wave feminism has become too safe, too easy. Feminism should be for them and by them, and not try to make mass appeals that inevitably water down what they're trying to accomplish. In a similar manner to Thiel/Sacks' criticism of multiculturalists in THE DIVERSITY MYTH, Crispin finds fault with the current crop of feminists in their failure of imagination, and hypocrisy in aiming for goals within the system they're supposed to be subverting. In other words, they aren't radical enough. She differs from Thiel/Sacks in that she doesn't just leave it at exposing the hypocrisy (and advocating keeping the system intact), but advocates a new system based on different values and indicators of success. I can't recommend this highly enough, save for one detail. This book is geared towards women, i.e., not me. And there are several paragraphs where she makes that very clear, almost as an afterthought. But I'm fine. They're just words. I'm a big boy and I can take it. So, if you're a woman who considers herself a feminist, drop whatever you're doing and read this now. You won't regret it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/39674538-why-i-am-not-a-feminist-a-feminist-manifesto](https://www.desertcart.us/products/39674538-why-i-am-not-a-feminist-a-feminist-manifesto) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-12*
