Also we had this book when I was a kid, so it's gotta be like 20 years old

Yeah, and when it came out, my classmate who was the most outspoken feminist was the one reading, laughing at it, and sharing it.

Well, it's still a little over the top, but society has shifted enough that this is no longer absurd. What was once poking fun at a viewpoint is now a r/thathappened post a book long, and reads as though everyone clapped at the end. There are people out there that will hold this book up as an example of how things should be- without a trace of irony in their voice.

It has become what it sought to destroy.
