The Gate to Women's Country

I did not like this book. I found it extremely irritating. It could be classed as ecofeminism, but I found it to be the most hateful book I've ever read. It does create empathy for the main character, but none for hardly anyone else. Almost every other character is unlikable, from the manipulating women to the violent men. It creates a worst-case dystopian future of gender separatism and suspicion. It almost felt like she was trying to one up "The Handmaid's Tale" and failed. I have read quite a bit of feminist science fiction and often find it to be worthwhile and rewarding no matter how uncomfortable it makes me feel as a man. This book only succeeds in turning off the reader.
