...ten people who are actually going to read it.

The rest of the people who buy this book, as with all other books of its kind, will fall under one of these three categories:

1 - Media pundits who oppose H-1b: These people will buy the book, skim a goodreads summary, and quickly scan the book for ten minutes of out-of-context quotes to spew on air at H-1b supporters..

2 - Media pundits who support H-1b: These people will buy the book, skim a goodreads summary, and quickly scan the book for ten minutes of out-of-context quotes to spew on air in an attempt to dismiss the book as their favourite ultimately meaningless criticism dismissing buzz word.
Choose from: [political correctness / socialism / fascism / corporate pandering / oligarchy]

3 - Normal people who are curious about H-1b: These people will buy the book, read 16 pages in, get bored, then leave it on their desks to look smart.

The last hundred pages of this book could be an endorsement of dog raping and only ten people would notice.

That's funny, because those "typical examples" you mention typically end up being on legitimate grounds with real evidence of discrimination and harassment. It's also funny you mention alleged discrimination of Dalhousie, a school that was just recently embattled in a huge scandal over men in their dentistry school discriminating heavily and taking and sharing voyeur pictures of women without their consent and sharing them When a random anti-feminist makes an ill-thought comments and complaints every time a feminist opens his/her mouth, people call it criticism, and everybody moves on. When a random woman (she doesn't need to be a feminist -- that is assumed just because she's a woman and she's talking) makes an ill-thought comment or complaint, he/she is hounded and the backlash is humongous, and people call it squawking or whining, and often resort to death threats. This is a double standard that is blatant and easily observed in modern society, and something even non-feminists have begun to seriously address and seriously consider. Also, please provide me an example of exactly one of these "coalitions" seeking to censor speech so I can eat my own shoes. Anti-feminists and feminists mutually use terrible arguments, straw-man fallacies, claims of squawking and whining on both sides -- but only anti-feminists seem to abandon the arguing and resort to hacks, blackmail, and death threats.

Anti-feminists seem to have trouble grasping this. Criticism: A: I think your ideas are wrong and here's why. B: I disagree for the following reasons. Harassment: A: I think your ideas are wrong. Everybody, look, her ideas are wrong. You are useless and stupid because I think your ideas are wrong. I'm going to call your friends and tell them to stop being your friend and post on your facebook to let everyone know how wrong your ideas are. B: Please get out of my house. Threats: A: I'm going to kill you if you talk about your ideas. B: ???
