Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Book Preview: #1 The Slippery Slope of Silencings is the phenomenon where people of both genders pop up at events to hold forth on irrelevant things and conspiracy theories, but the out-and-out confrontational confidence of the totally ignorant is, in my experience, gendered.

#2 The presumption that women are unnecessary is a war that every woman faces every day. It is a belief in their superfluity, and it invites silence. There is a happy medium between these poles, and we should all meet there.

#3 The struggle of feminism to make rape, date rape, marital rape, domestic violence, and workplace sexual harassment crimes legal has been to make women credible and audible.

#4 In speaking engagements, I often encounter men who explain things to me. And they almost always do it in a manner that makes me feel like I lack intelligence.
