I wonder: how do you feel about expressing your unpopular book opinions publicly?

There are a good number of universally loved books that I just didn't get the hype for or outright disliked, but I tend to keep these opinions to myself in fear of backlash. Sometimes, I even start to wonder if I read the book 'wrong' somehow and toy with the idea of re-reading the book to give it a second shot (but I rarely do). At the same time, I really respect people who unapologetically express their opinions, unpopular or no. So my fears might not be well-founded at all. In private, I am wayyy more outwardly critical of media i consume in general than I am online lol. Something about the internet is terrifying.

I'm curious about how other people feel about this. Where do you fall on the scale of hiding in silence or screaming to the masses?

Edit: Also, feel free to use this post to express said unpopular opinion if you're willing :P

hello! so recently i’ve had a debate with an acquaintance of mine that turn out to be very misogynistic and patriarchal (i’m truly devastated btw) 🫩. he refuses feminist and gender equality ideology. he’s keep saying that it’s man that have to be the “head of the family” and the only one to make a decision in the family. and while he still holds onto that view strongly, he’s still open to have other debate and discussion.

and for this occasion can you guys recommend me any feminist book for beginner. specifically for this misogynistic prick, do you guys have feminist book with domestic settings, something that easy to consume 🥹. i’m genuinely thankful for you guys if you can recommend me some books for him to unlearn that mindset 🥹🙏
