I’m interested in how this book is presented and discussed… but not interested enough to read it. I don’t think it is unintentional that men, plural, is in the name - it may mean the patriarchy but the internet can name a man, singular, who may have called her crazy. The title lends itself to exploration of the one man who is most associated with her. Obv, she is not obligated to do so, but then should another title have been chosen?
Honestly, I think that might be the case for a lot of people - they're intrigued by the book but not enough to actually buy it, especially with the reviews being so middling. Perhaps another title would have changed expectations but the Mulaney of it all would always be a problem.
