the fact the the original book was written by a woman who identifies herself as a feminist is amazing

It's an accurate depiction of what's happening out there in marriage-land.

This woman reminds me of the cunning guile of my ex. I've always said other guys have had it a lot worse. This woman is about 4x the evil mine was, but 25% of evil is still a lot of evil.

Some parts of this are strongly mgtow, but some parts aren't. Female perpetrators of violence? Check.

However, I would like to point to what remains of the female protagonists soliloquy on being a "cool girl." The writer doesn't understand what men want, at a basic level. She thinks that women are competing on female status hierarchies (thinness, especially) because men care about these things most of all. Men want a fuckable woman, and that's the end of it. The character spent her adulthood competing to be the best in a game that she would lose with age, and then she blames men for it. It's not clear whether or not the author makes the same mistake in thinking that men are responsible for women's body competitions.
