Overview
The title says it all. A collection of close to two hundred exposes and analyses of everyday sexist shit (and gender shit, since gender is aligned with sex) that pisses me off. Includes ""Mr. and Ms."", ""Marriage: A Sexist Affair"", ""Smile!"", ""An End to War"", ""Take Her Seriously"", ""Why Do Men Spit?"", ""On Getting Paid (or not)"", ""On Crying 'Rape' for Regret"", ""Did Men Invent This?"" and many, many more. Includes pieces previously published in The Philosophers' Magazine, Philosophy Now, Herizons, fbomb.org, Humanist in Canada, and Victoria Times Colonist, as well as a great many previously unpublished pieces. ________ ""I recommend this book be read slowly, a little bit at a time; there's so much to take in, and the emotional impact can be intense. Sexist Shit that Pisses Me Off would be a great book to share with family, friends, and a book club."" Karen Siddall, Amazon ""Woh. This book is freaking awesome and I demand a sequel."" Anonymouse, barnesandnoble.com (about the 1st edn) ""I recommend this book to both women and men. It will open your eyes ..."" Seregon, Goodreads
