Starting this book. Excited to get my learning on.

This book is really freaking good. VERY thorough.

"Though we are all born with a certain kind of body that the dominant culture calls our “sex,” no one is born as a boy or girl, a woman or a man; rather, we are all assigned to a gender and come to identify (or not) with that gender through a complex process of socialization."

starting today

starting this today

I thought this was going to be a. totally different book than it is.

Starting on this next. I only have 3 days left before the library wants it back. Cutting it close lol.

Made it to Chapter 6. Calling it a night.

Calvin Coolidge- Good House Keeping article, Sat Evening Post, Kellogg, have all entered the scene now in favor of eugenics. Cool cool cool.

Stopping here for tonight. So far: Rockefellers, Harrimans, A G Bell, Carnegies, Jefferson, Madison Grant, Taft, Theodore Roosevelt, and Margaret Sanger have been mentioned now amongst so many others in positions of power that ALL WERE INVOLVED. Seriously getting War Against The Weak flashbacks. Waiting for Kellogg to drop. ha

Meant to put 3 % lool

I'm in for another long one. Starting out strong mentioning Cold Spring Harbor and Rockefellers. Harkening back to Edwin Black's research on the US eugenics movement.

Got to chapter 9 where I stopped working for the day. This book is awesome!

Started on this

Finishing this today or tomorrow

Where I left off last night. Interesting so far.

Starting this tonight. Will take 2 days to finish. 10 hours of audio. Starts off with spongebob squarepants?? strange!!

Stopped here for the night. I have a lot of mixed feelings about this book.

Gonna start this today but won’t finish until tomorrow.

Chapter 10 start. Ok. I'm hate-finishing this book. The gendered pronouns and the blanket statements implying that all cptsd is due to parental neglect. It's destroying me listening to this crap. Don't get me started on the sexist undertones of gender roles as well. Why is this book so highly rated? yikes.

Taking a break for dinner. I'm like- 50% invested in this book. It's going to get my lowest rating of the year so far. Author is extremely narrow- minded in thinking.

Starting this one tonight.

Will finish tomorrow. I don’t know why I thought this book would be less about European history than it is, but that’s all that it has been so far.

Took a break for dinner. Will finish tonight. So far- super informative.

Reading this because I wanted something not about genocide after the last book. Might finish today too?

I'm gonna have to chase this one with something light- despite the books I have checked out rn. Holy lord. 14 hours of really intense, horrible actions is just.. yeah... good job amerikkka.
