hooks explains that all feminism is radical feminism. That it is not about gender equality, but about completely changing society.

She explains that feminism was developed by hurt and broken women using 'consciousness raising' as therapy. 'Consciousness raising' is basically indoctrination.

She identifies the things that feminists got wrong, and explains how feminism needs to change. The book is 20 years old. Not much has changed.

She denies 'true feminism' is about hating men, but constantly describes men as being awful people, who need to change.

She describes feminism in very religious terms, and even has a chapter of feminist spirituality.

Particularly interesting to men was how she describes 'feminist theory'. It's not theories about how the world works, it's mental gymnastics to map their preconceived ideas onto reality. Feminist theory is produced to enable ongoing 'critical consciousness'.
