Weekly Random Discussion Thread for 1/30/22 - 2/5/22

So a friend of mine who is kind of following the woke trend mainly just using the buzzwords (she is not radicalized and she has a pretty surface level understanding of it) recommended the book Quit Like A Woman: The Radical Choice To Not Drink to me (I'm not an alcoholic, but we are both at an age where we are starting to not be able to drink as much as we used to - she is quitting drinking and i'm cutting back).

My question for you fine folx is: has anyone heard anything about this book or read it? Is it worth me listening to on audible while I do the dishes as a show of solidarity to my friend and her new lifestyle choice? I am allergic to large amounts of radfem and woke ideology, so is it going to put me into anaphylaxis?

This is from the description of the book on Audible "Fueled by her own emerging feminism, she also realized that the predominant systems of recovery are archaic, patriarchal, and ineffective for the unique needs of women and other historically oppressed people - who don’t need to lose their egos and surrender to a male concept of God, as the tenets of Alcoholics Anonymous state, but who need to cultivate a deeper understanding of their own identities and take control of their lives."

I can't tell if they are just trying to use buzzwords to sell this book to mainstream women, or if it is a woke sobriety book....
