Women are standing up and #shoutingback. In a culture that’s driven by social media, for the first time women are using this online space (@EverydaySexism www.everydaysexism.com) to come together, share their stories, and encourage a new generation to recognise the problems that women face.
This book is a call to arms in a new wave of feminism and it proves sexism is endemic - socially, politically, and economically. But women won’t stand for it. The Everyday Sexism Project is grounded in reality; packed with substance, validity, and integrity and it shows that women will no longer tolerate a society that ignores the dangers and endless effects of sexism.
In 2012 after being sexually harassed on London public transport Laura Bates, a young journalist, started a project called Everyday Sexism to collect stories for a piece she was writing on the issue. Astounded by the response she received and the wide range of stories that came pouring in from all over the world, she quickly realised that the situation was far worse than she’d initially thought. Enough was enough. From being leered at and wolf-whistled on the street, to aggravation in the work place and serious sexual assault, it was clear that sexism had been normalised. Bates decided it was time for change.
This bold, jaunty, and ultimately intelligent book is the first to give a collective voice to the protest against sexism. This game-changing book is a juggernaut of stories, often shocking, sometimes amusing, and always poignant - it is a must-listen for every inquisitive, no-nonsense modern woman.

I thought the person who wrote this review deserved to have it posted here as well.

” A Must Listen! ”
This is not a comfortable book to listen to, it’s not uplifting or joyous but in a clear and identifiable way it unpacks those little moments in any given day that happen as a result of sexism: The decision you make to take a different route to work so you don’t get catcalled, the blame you place on yourself for lewd comments because of your outfit, the vulnerability of being a woman in the 21st century and, most gut wrenching of all - the blind eye that is ever-constantly turned. Hearing in the authors voice the astonishment, bewilderment and sobering sadness of her research, and of the the thousands of women who came forward with stories to tell is profoundly enlightening and evocative.

Great upload whackbags! IMO sexism just keeps getting worse in our society, It has gotten to the point where i have to keep my beard grown out in a vain attempt to not be hit on by literally every woman i interact with. Hopefully future generations with be more asexual than our current hormone-driven mass of lemmings.
With most things, we must look to Japan and emulate them if we wish to progress

SJW Porn. This crap panders to the most self absorbed narcissistic minority in history. The purple haired shreik monsters that dwell at the edge of reality.
