And, as I've been saying, if you are not a woman or a girl, then you might as well be anything—any manner of kickable monstrosity. The book touches upon eugenics, psychodynamics, nazism, mum-shaming, being weird and different, social isolation, and of course, not dressing well. I could honestly gush about this book for ages, so I'll stop myself now and just finish by saying that I would recommend this to anybody.
