Kate OBeirnes new book, Women Who Make the World Worse: and How Their Radical Feminist Assault Is Ruining Our Schools, Families, Military, and Sports, will turn out to be one of the most important books this year. Its a highly readable take on what feminism hath wrought and how it wrought it.
As Kate explained in an interview with National Reviews Kathryn Jean Lopez:
The modern womens movement is totalitarian in its methods, radical in its aims, and dishonest in its advocacy. Coercion is employed through the courts to enforce its unpopular agenda, on issues like abortion and gender quotas. Radical feminists warn of the perilous gender gap threatening any politician who doesnt knuckle under to their demands, but rarely seem able to win elections. They confidently predicted the defeats of Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush at the hands of angry women.
OBeirne has hit a nerve, and now these same angry women are trying to sink the book
But go over to Amazon anyway, do battle with the moonbats, and give "Women Who Make the World Worse" five stars. Who cares if you havent read it--do you think many of the trolls have?
Here is the link to Kate O'Bierne's book, on sale at Amazon.com, where you can write a short review (or long) and give her the Five (5) Star support of conservative voices.

I looked for Kate's book in Costco but I could not find it.Perhaps if all us Costco shoppers ask for it,they will respond.
I'm not persuaded that it would be helpful to write reviews for Amazon if you haven't read the book.
What Freepers can do, however, is to go through all the reviews, vote NO for the moonbat ones, and YES for the good ones. And if you've read the book, by all means review it.
I don't think I've ever disagreed with her.
Here is #3 Best Seller on Amazon.com: The Ultimate Guide to Cunnilingus: How to Go Down on a Woman and Give Her Exquisite Pleasure (Ultimate Everything!!!) (Paperback)
This is for real! Geeeez. LOL

Excellent point, that's what I did. It must have taken me about an hour or so to get through most of that list, and the posts that threatened violence or engaged in profanity (curiously all where One (1) Star reviews) I reported as "inappropriate."
I have O'Bierne's book and am about half finished reading it. I plan to write a review and give it Five (5) Stars if it continues the quality I have seen so far.
Amazon may have its hands full dealing with all the unethical spam reviews of this book by O'Bierne, but the poor policing of such spam doesn't enamor me to the ethical standards of Amazon. Why does Amazon allow such obviously fraudulent posts to exist without proper remedy? I certainly understand the frustration that led to IWF's call for reviews based on Amazon policy, or lack of Amazon policy, in this regard.
The Ultimate Guide to Cunnilingus:
That's a mouthful.
IMHO, Kate is a fine credit to the human species. It's always a pleasure to find healthy, wholesome, caring folks whose lives contribute to improving our humanity, our world.
Agreed!
I'm getting 3 copies for my family
I don't know for sure, but I think there is probably a combination of automated ordering of the reviews and manual ordering of the reviews.
I also don't know how automated ordering would work, but the obvious method would be to put reviews with lots of YES votes up front, and reviews with few responses or lots of NO votes toward the back (one or the other, or both).
Amazon obviously doesn't have time to manually organize the reviews of hundreds of thousands of books, but they may manually interfere with a few of the best sellers for commercial purposes, or with a few of the political books for political purposes.
Barnes & Noble has a well-deserved reputation for left-wing bias. On the whole, Amazon seems to be neutral. Possibly a little to the left, but at least they don't deliberately hide or misplace all their conservative books.
So, I think they will probably play reasonably fair, and that it will be helpful to go in and vote for the good reviews and against the bad ones. Naturally, the DUMMIES will be doing the same, unfortunately.
