Argentinian author Pola Oloixarac takes on cancel culture in this disruptive, incisive, and brilliantly controversial piece of autofiction.
Pola Oloixarac has been approached numerous times by women bent on punishing men, including their former lovers. They denounce these men in scathing terms and demand that the author pick a side: either with her fellow women or with the "bad hombres" in their lives, as there can be no middle ground. Fascinated and perplexed, Oloixarac considers a system with the power to cast suspicion on virtually anyone, including herself.
Bad Hombres asks the questions we are often too uncomfortable to consider: What are the limitations of 21st-century feminism? Is there a 'right' and a 'wrong' way to react to claims of sexual violence? And when, if ever, is revenge justifiable?
