Ebook: Misogynation: the true scale of sexism

Ridiculous sexist arguments busted -- Everyday and insidious -- Rape is not a romp -- Handy guides for confused dudes -- Harassment vs free speech vs banter -- Women are people, too -- Our bodies, our battlegrounds -- #NotAllMen -- What women are still putting up with at work -- Facepalm fails -- Shouting back.;Drawing attention to both hidden and blatant sexist acts and attitudes, Laura Bates has exposed the startling truth behind misogyny in our society: systemic, ingrained and ignored. From Weinstein to Westminster, a torrent of allegations of sexual harassment and assault have left us reeling. 100 years since some women were first given the right to vote, we are still struggling to get to grips with the true extent of gender inequality that continues to flourish in our society. In this collection of essays, originally published in the Guardian, Laura Bates uncovers the sexism that exists in our relationships, our workplaces, our media, in our homes and on our streets, but which is also firmly rooted in our lifelong assumptions and in the actions and attitudes we explain away, defend and accept.
