Has Political Correctness Gone Mad?

Autor: Tony Mckenna

Número de Páginas: 249

Woke social justice warriors lurk around every corner, ready to cancel free speakers and police common sense. Muslims love nothing better than abolishing Christmas. FemiNazi's throw false accusations at the pillars of our society. Decried by right-wing pundits and politicians alike, the idea of 'political correctness' is often painted as a form of left-wing totalitarianism but in this pithy, clear-headed account, Tony McKenna explains how the concept itself is in fact one of the great conspiracy theories of our times. From the fear of 'cancel culture' to the demonization of grassroots social movements, this is a searing dissection of how the exclusionary agendas for so long played out in our media and party politics have been successfully dressed up as campaigns for freedom and common sense. Tackling some of the favourite bogeymen of tabloids and scaremongers, McKenna dissects the language, rhetoric and ideology that turns refugees into insects, social justice into 'wokery', and makes predators out of anyone from dark skinned men to trans women. He provides a full analysis of historically important social liberation movements like BLM and #MeToo, giving the historical and cultural ...

Autor: Laura Bates

Número de Páginas: 285

Después de experimentar una serie de incidentes sexistas, la escritora y activista Laura Bates fundó el proyecto Sexismo Cotidiano en abril de 2012, un análisis pionero de la misoginia moderna. Comenzó con una página web donde la gente podía compartir sus experiencias de sexismo diario. Desde ser acosada y silbada en la calle, hasta la discriminación en el lugar de trabajo o la agresión sexual y la violación, está claro que el sexismo se ha normalizado en el día a día. Pero el verdadero objetivo de Bates es inspirar a las mujeres a que provoquen un cambio real. El proyecto se convirtió en un acontecimiento viral, atrayendo la atención de la prensa internacional y el apoyo de celebridades como Rose McGowan, Amanda Palmer, Mara Wilson, Ashley Judd, Simon Pegg y muchos otros. Tras una asombrosa respuesta del público, Sexismo cotidiano rápidamente se convirtió en una de las mayores historias de éxito de los medios de comunicación social en Internet. Hasta ahora ha recogido más de 150.000 testimonios de personas de todo el mundo y ha lanzado nuevas sucursales en 25 países, ayudando a construir una nueva ola de feminismo.

Mujer en punto cero

Autor: Nawal El Saadawi

Número de Páginas: 130

"Todos los hombres que he conocido solo me han inspirado un deseo: el de alzar la mano y dejarla caer con fuerza sobre su rostro". Así comienza la notable historia de Firdaus de rebelión contra una sociedad fundada en mentiras, hipocresía, brutalidad y opresión. Nacida en el seno de una familia campesina en Egipto, Firdaus lucha a lo largo de su infancia, buscando la compasión y el conocimiento en un mundo que le da muy poco de ambas cuestiones. A medida que crece, cada nueva relación le enseña una amarga pero liberadora verdad: las únicas personas libres son aquellas que no quieren nada, no temen nada y no esperan nada. Desde sus primeros recuerdos, Firdaus sufrió a manos de los hombres. Primero su abusivo padre, luego su violento marido, y finalmente su engañoso novio convertido en proxeneta. Después de toda una vida de abuso, por fin llevará a cabo una acción drástica contra los varones que gobiernan su vida. Desde su celda, Firdaus, condenada a morir por haber matado a un proxeneta en una calle de El Cairo, cuenta su vida desde la infancia en la aldea a la vida de prostituta en la ciudad. La retribución de la sociedad por su acto de desafío —la muerte— le...

Girl Up

Autor: Laura Bates

Número de Páginas: 336

Already an international bestseller, this empowering survival guide provides no-nonsense advice on sex, social media, mental health, and sexism that young women face in their everyday life—from one of the emerging leaders in the feminist movement. They told you that you need to be thin and beautiful. They told you to wear longer skirts, avoid going out late at night, and move in groups—never accept drinks from a stranger, and wear shoes you can run in more easily than heels. They told you to wear just enough make-up to look presentable but not enough to be a slut; to dress to flatter your apple, pear, hourglass figure, but not to reveal too much. They warned you that if you try to be strong, or take control, you’ll be shrill, bossy, a ballbreaker. Of course it’s fine for the boys, but you should know your place. They told you “that’s not for girls”—“take it as a compliment”—“don’t rock the boat”—“that’ll go straight to your hips.” They told you “beauty is on the inside,” but you knew they didn’t really mean it. Well, screw that. Laura Bates is here to tell you something else. Hilarious, bold, and unapologetic, Girl Up exposes the truth...

Marriage Discourses

Autor: Jowan A. Mohammed , Frank Jacob

Número de Páginas: 266

Marriage was historically not only a romantic ideal, but a tool of exploitation of women in many regards. Women were often considered commodities and marriage was far away from the romantic stereotypes people relate to it today. While marriages served as diplomatic tools or means of political legitimization in the past, the discourses about marital relationships changed and women expressed their demands more openly. Discourses about marriage in history and literature naturally became more and more heated, especially during the "long" 19th century, when marriages were contested by social reformers or political radicals, male and female alike. The present volume provides a discussion of the role of marriage and the discourses about in different chronological and geographical contexts and shows which arguments played an important role for the demand for more equality in martial relationships. It focuses on marriage discourses, may they have been legal or rather socio-political ones. In addition, the disputes about marriage in literary works of the 19th and 20th centuries are presented to complement the historical debates.

What is Right and Wrong? Who Decides? Where Do Values Come From? And Other Big Questions

Autor: Michael Rosen , Annemarie Young

Número de Páginas: 50

Every day we make decisions that are underpinned by our ideas of what is right and wrong. But where do these ideas come from? Where do our values come from and who decides which values are used in a society? This book is a highly topical look at how our decisions about what is right and wrong play out on an individual, local, national and global scale. It examines topics that are strongly connected to the values people hold and their ideas of right and wrong, such as democracy, justice, fairness, prejudice and discrimination, education, climate change and war. There are contributions from Laura Bates, Richard Rieser, Tulip Siddiq and Alex Wheatle, who, along with the authors, discuss how their ideas of what is right and wrong have been shaped by their life experiences. Readers are encouraged to think for themselves about the issues discussed and decide which values are important to them.

Man-Made

Autor: Eva Tutchell , John Edmonds

Número de Páginas: 277

Why are so few women in positions of power? Why are government, business, the institutions and so much of British life dominated by men? Eva Tutchell and John Edmonds find the answers by interviewing over a hundred successful women and discovering what it takes for a woman to get to the top. The statistics are startling. Britain is an 80/20 nation: 80 per cent of the most powerful jobs are occupied by men and only 20 per cent by women. Tutchell and Edmonds uncover the cultural and historical reasons for this extraordinary imbalance of power. Their book is entitled Man-Made because men have made the rules and women must do their best to fit in. In spite of its claim to be a modern nation, Britain is conditioned by a legacy that views men as doers and leaders and expects women to be helpers and supporters. Many men still judge women more by their appearance than by their ability. Most shocking of all, Man-Made reveals that the birth of children pushes the careers of most women into crisis. Mothers are paid less and promoted less. Ambitious women are tempted to make their children ’invisible’ to employers. Man-Made provides a rigorous and convincing analysis of the inadequacy of...

Everyday Sexism

Autor: Laura Bates

Número de Páginas: 343

'If Caitlin Moran's How To Be A Womanis the fun-filled manual for female survival in the 21st century, everyday sexism is its more politicised sister' (Independent on Sunday). After experiencing a series of escalating sexist incidents, Laura Bates started theeveryday sexism projectand has gone on to write 'a pioneering analysis of modern day misogyny' (Telegraph). After an astounding response from the wide range of stories that came pouring in from all over the world, the project quickly became one of the biggest social media success stories of the internet. From being harassed and wolf-whistled at on the street, to discrimination in the workplace and serious sexual assault, it is clear that sexism had become normalised. But Bates inspires women to lead a real change and writes this 'extremely powerful book that could, and should, win hearts and minds right across the spectrum' (Financial Times). Often shocking, sometimes amusing and always poignant, everyday sexism is a protest against inequality and a manifesto for change. It's 'a game-changing book, a must-read for every woman' (Cosmopolitan). 'Admirable and culturally transferable. "A storm is coming," writes Bates. After...
