I think the book has some really fascinating things to say, both directly and indirectly, about misogyny. Especially, as you say, how misogyny ends up influencing women's thoughts about respecting themselves (and each other)...so that, in turn, women end up unknowingly contributing to the amount of misogyny in society instead of fighting against it.
I almost want to quote more from the interviews, but I feel like the intent behind the words is better preserved in the context of the book. But they really are great interviews, and really just made me respect the Js and everyone else all the more (what can I say, I love thoughtful intelligent people). ;)
