Woman Is Lost After Her Older BF Gives Her A Misogynist Book To Read, Posts Update 8 Years Later

Sometimes a recommended book is so bad, you start looking at the person who made the suggestion in a whole different light

A man gifted his girlfriend a book he loved for her to read while she was spending time away

It was a book called “A Spell for Chameleon,” and it terrified the woman from its first pages

The storyline of the book wasn’t scary, but what terrified her was how sexist, misogynistic, and poorly written it was

She couldn't believe that her educated and respectful boyfriend liked such a book

When she asked him about it, he explained that he’d read it over a decade earlier and hadn’t remembered the details of its sexism, which calmed her down a bit

8 years later, the woman posted an update about it – turns out the relationship wasn't a good fit and they broke up around a month after the original post

Now, she is happily married to someone, who likely doesn't idealize sexist books

People in the comments shared their experiences with the same book –how they read it during childhood and didn't notice how bad it was until they read it as adults
