Download Witch by Lisa Lister – kino-fada.fr Getting through this book was practically unbearable I should have listened to my gut when it started churning at the obnoxious introduction to the book, which was dripping the disgusting, outdated, vagina centric language characteristic of so many feminist books of the 90s and early 2000s Oh wait, what This book just came out this year Gross Seriously, this book even made me as a cis woman, the audience the author goes out of her way to mention the book is for she seems to express in her Getting through this book was practically unbearable I should have listened to my gut when it started churning at the obnoxious introduction to the book, which was dripping the disgusting, outdated, vagina cen...Really interesting, totally out of my usual, not completely my cup of tea but a lot of cool new knowledge to learn about.I don t know where to start with this text Its transphobic reproductive centered approach to womanhood and femininity Its easy dismissal of cultural appropriation Its absurd disapproval ofor less all modern medicine, and particularly the use of hormonal birth control Its blatant misunderstanding of history Its relative lack of any actually useful information on paganism witchcraft Which is, essentially to say, that I found this book summarily awful There s a lot a person can do when I don t know where to start with this text Its transphobic reproductive centered approach to womanhood and femininity Its easy dismissal of cultural appropriation Its absurd disapproval ofor less all modern medicine, and particularly the use of hormonal birth control Its blatant misunderstanding of history Its relative lack of any actually useful information on paganism witchcraft Which is, essentially to say, that I found this book summarily awful There s a lot a person can do when tying to update and re imagine the concept of the witch This bizarre, pussy obsessed version is not one of them For any woman, cis or trans, who doesn t obsess over sex, who has a complicated relationship with their genitals or lack there of that can t just be written off with a lackadaisical, but they re where ALL my power...DNF Perhaps there sto this book after that first couple of pages, but I decided to walk away from the all up in your face approach of telling me I m not empowered Moreover, I can t relate to the notion that my power emanates from my vagina I was hoping for a book that celebrated women and provided insights into their connection with the earth, its rhythms, its wisdom, and its elements What I read of this one, though, made me feel bad for not walking crotch first ...This would be a pretty good primer on all things witchy, if it weren t for the deeply uncomfortable focus on genitals Women s greatest power is only located in their reproductive organs No thank you Even as a cis woman I found this insulting at best, and I can t even imagine how a trans woman might feel if she picked this up I sincerely hope I m wrong, but the whole thing smacks of trans exclusionary radical feminism and no one needs to be exposed to that kind of toxic thinking I m all for This would be a pretty good primer on al...This book is pretty transphobic and also so awkward If you re looking for information about actual witchcraft, move along If you want to read about vagina power, well, I guess this might be for you It was not for me.5 5 not because of the very conversational writing but because I read this at the right time and I believe it has impacted my life like an asteroid hitting Earth It has caused me to think deeply about my own philosophy of life and spiritually, and that is worth the price of a paperback alone.This book was so self serving and preachy that I was non stop eye rolling for the entire time reading This book was all about women power , while also feeling very patronizing to women reading it Further, the author is so incredibly transphobic I purchased this book as a supplemental resource, but there is no actual intelligent information communicated in this book.The author needs to realize her privilege and stop preaching about feminism when she obviously is a non apologetic transphob This book was so self serving and preachy that I was non stop eye rolling for the entire time reading This book was all about women power , while also feeling very patronizing to women reading it Further, the author is so incredibly transphobic I...I am so happy I didn t pay for this I took this out from the library, not doing much research Being a sucker for withcy books and sleek minimalist covers, I was like ok cool cool cool cool I could not finish this Actually, I could barely get through the first chapter There are some muchelegant, ...Every woman should read this book If you re not into witchy things, don t let the title put you off it sabout how women have been treated for the past, you know, few thousand years starting with the witch hunts and how it still effects us today It s hugely eye o...
