I couldn't finish this. It starts strong with the essay titled "Tom Man", about what happens to tomboys when they grow up, but veers quickly into the worst kind of toxic femininity, all about complying with insane standards of beauty and being treated horribly by men. The worst of the essays I finished was about how some women are poodles--naturally, effortlessly beautiful--and some are wolves--have to try hard forever with their looks and never let down their guards for a second. To me this is exactly backward. A couple of essays later (one about a cad she dated, then another about her love for that dumb store Anthropologie) I was done.
