Rebecca Solnit tackled the topics of what often goes wrong in interactions between men and women in her hilarious and biting article "Men Explain Things to Me." She revealed some of her own comically terrible experiences while writing about men who mistakenly believe they know things and women who mistakenly believe they don't, as well as the reasons for this and how this component of the gender conflicts works.
She closes on a somber note: the suppression of women who speak out, even when they say things like, "He's trying to kill me," is the real issue.
This book includes six excellent complements to the now-classic essay, such as an analysis of Virginia Woolf's embrace of mystery, ignorance, doubt, and ambiguity, a very creative investigation into marriage equality, and a horrifying overview of the extent of modern violence against women.
