Sexism is harmful and disproportionately affects women and girls. She's bossy. She's abrasive. She's a drama queen. She dresses like a slut. She runs like a girl. She acts like a man. The sexist words that have become normalized and accepted are only one part of the problem. Sexism lies at the root of gender inequality. Everyone has sexist biases, implicit or explicit. A United Nations study reported that 9 out of 10 people worldwide, men and women, have at least one deeply ingrained bias towards women. Sexism leads to four outcomes; microaggression, discrimination, harassment, and violence. Antisexist provides compelling examples of sexist behaviors and practical action steps that enable you to understand and manage sexism. Antisexist contains powerful stories from a diverse group of men and women worldwide. The intersectionality of sexism with other biases including racism, ageism, and ableism, is explored. The book provides a roadmap for being antisexist by challenging sexism, championing women's rights, and creating equality. Choose to stop sexism towards women and girls and create a more equitable world.
