This book examines how everyday accounts of sexism have become so ingrained into daily life that not only do we not even notice them half the time, but they've infiltrated and infected every structure of society. Through astonishing interviews with powerful insiders, Blood and Oil tells how MBS's cabal played the Saudi economy and capitalised on the omnipotence of feudal power while effectively stamping out dissent, before allegations of his extreme brutality and excess began to slip out. For Laura Bates, it began with a heavy piece of gold jewellery that her mother found on the passenger seat of the family car.

Por la naturaleza del libro, en un inicio me resultó un poco difícil; tenía que detenerme cada cierto tiempo. There are Big Caesars who set out to achieve total social control and Little Caesars who merely want to run an agreeable kleptocracy without opposition: from Julius Caesar and Oliver Cromwell through Napoleon and Bolivar, to Mussolini, Salazar, De Gaulle and Trump.I read it with rage and anger at the injustices and inequalities, at how women are shamed and how they internalise this shame, and how they are held responsible for creating change rather than holding the systems and societal structures accountable for their oppression. Yet when someone tries to explain how a sexist attitude or misogynistic views would tie in with and lead to a system in which discrimination and men's violence against women is normalised and allowed, you're labelled as paranoid or *sexist*.
