Antisexist

She's bossy. She's abrasive. She's jail-bait. She's too old for this job. She runs like a girl. She dresses like a slut. She's not leadership material. She doesn't deserve equal pay. She's a working mother. She's going to get pregnant. She acts like a man. She's a ball-buster. She needs to get herself a husband. She's a girly girl. She's hormonal. She's having a blonde moment. She let herself go. She's a female engineer. She's too emotional. She's a bitch.

Sexism impacts women and girls in a multitude of negative ways. Everyone has sexist biases, implicit or explicit. These biases can lead to stereotypes, prejudice, microaggressions, discrimination, emotional abuse, sexual harassment, physical violence, and femicide. While you can't get rid of your biases, you can learn to manage them. Antisexist provides compelling examples of sexist behaviors and practical action steps to address sexism and misogyny.

Antisexist contains powerful stories from a diverse worldwide group of women and men. The intersectionality of sexism with other biases, including racism, ageism, and ableism, is explored. The goal is for you to go beyond being sexist or nonsexist and be antisexist. The book presents a roadmap for being antisexist by challenging sexism, championing women's rights, and creating equality. Choose to end sexism towards women and girls and create a more equitable world.
