Feminist politics aims to end domination to free us to be who we are - to live lives where we love justice, where we can live in peace. Feminism is for everybody." Right at the beginning the author states that the book's goal is to provide an accessible "guide" to feminism for all.

Kedua, aku merasa buku ini terlalu dipenuhi dengan opini pribadi penulis dan 'self insert'. Kurang riset. Buku yang dijadikan rujukan pun malah buku lain yang juga ditulis oleh penulisnya, Bell Hooks dan hanya sedikit buku dari penulis lain. Defiende en cada punto la importancia de tomar en cuenta la interseccionalidad de la raza y la situación socioeconómica junto con el género, de lo contrario no se llegara a ningún lado, el patriarcado continuara fortalecido y el feminismo debilitado. Además hooks justifica porque El Feminismo es Para Todo el Mundo, porque no es como piensan muchos y lamentablemente algunas supuestas feministas, que es una confrontación de mujeres contra hombres pues eso solo reproduce la política patriarcal de divide y vencerás, porque los hombres también pueden ser aliados, ser feministas y defender la causa, ya que el patriarcado también les afecta, así como a los niños y los ancianos. “La seguridad y la continuidad de la vida en el planeta requiere que los hombres se hagan feministas.” hooks también remarca en la importancia de crear espacios feministas en la educación o en el hogar, en hacer del feminismo algo accesible a todos y no una cuestión elitista que solo ciertos intelectuales puedan entender. Ketiga, hal yang menurutku fatal dan berulangkali terjadi di buku ini dan membuatku akhirnya memutuskan untuk tidak melanjutkan buku ini, Bell Hooks seolah menyatakan bahwa seksualitas bisa dipilih. Hal ini terlihat jelas pada essay Politik Seksual Feminis: Etika Kebebasan Bersama.anti-choice advocates, like the ones that hooks condemns as being "anti-woman, & therefore anti-feminist" have been making a lot of in-roads in trying to convince women that they may suffer long-term negative helth effects from having abortions. they have created the false psychological condition known as "post-abortion stress syndrome" (rightfully unrecognized by psychological authorities) & have falsely linked abortion to breast cancer & infertility. these are all scare tactics designed to intimidate women out of pursuing abortion. there is no legitimate medical evidence to support them. it is sad & enraging to see hooks repeat these myths, especially in a book aimed primarily at young or otherwise inexperienced-in-feminism people who may not be privvy to feminist attempts at countering these lies. Wow, for a short book, without too many five dollar words, this work is extremely thorough and requires a lot of work and contemplation on the part of the reader. C'è dentro tutto: la storia del movimento, i suoi ideali, le sue guerre intestine e persino i suoi controsensi. Soprattutto, però, il conforto e la speranza, particolarmente apprezzati, io credo, in questi nuovi tempi di guerra. That being said, the author rarely mentions important feminists or other texts in general. She does something else instead. Can you guess what?

A genuine feminist politics always brings us from bondage to freedom, from lovelessness to loving....There can be no love without justice.—from the chapter "To Love Again: The Heart of Feminism" Today in academic circles much of the most celebrated feminist theory is written in a sophisticated jargon that only the well-educated can read. Most people in our society do not have a basic understanding of feminism; they cannot acquire that understanding from a wealth of diverse material, grade school-level primers, and so on, because this material does not exist. We must create it if we are to rebuild feminist movement that is truly for everyone." First, feminism is not and should not be used a vehicle to hate men. Feminist theory IS a movement to end sexism, and that alone covers an enormous amount of details in shaping one’s worldviews. She also makes an important distinction between what it means to be a man and what it is to live under a patriarchal system or in an overbearing, patriarchal environment. hooks is never critical of the former, and in fact, she encourages gender identity. Her anti-sexist position, however, is a strong criticism of systemic abuse of women and children (and even men) that creates a socially entitled construct of class, race, gender, and economics. This must be upended, or at least radically scrutinized if any meaningful, egalitarian change can be implemented. Buku ini diklaim bisa menjadi buku pegangan bagi orang-orang yang masih awam mengenai feminisme, dengan klaim bahwa buku-buku feminisme yang lain masih penuh dengan jargon yang kurang dimengerti oleh orang-orang yang masih awam mengenai feminisme.Me encantó este libro, porque me parece que la visión desde la cual habla bell hooks, una mujer afroamericana, se refleja mucho en las diferentes situaciones que pueden vivir las mujeres que vienen de distintos entornos en Latinoamérica. Algunas tienen más privilegio, mientras otras tienen trabajos mal remunerados, y van quedando al margen. Toca este tema, y como es importante la solidaridad entre mujeres no solo en el hablar de feminismo, y como hay algunos temas que si son ineludibles en el feminismo, como el derecho al aborto, a la educación, etc. Honestly, I could go on for quite a while here pointing out the inaccurate, offensive and nonsensical bits, but I won't. Yang paling fatal menurutku ada pada kalimat "Perempuan-perempuan heteroseksual yang memilih hubungan sesama jenis karena benar-benar merasa kecewa dengan laki-laki sekarang bergabung dengan para lesbian radikal."
