From the wickedly funny and feminist creator and host of the Throwing Shade podcast, a collection of hilarious personal essays and political commentary perfect for fans of Lindy West and Roxane Gay.
Since women earned the right to vote a little under one hundred years ago, our progress hasn't been the Olympic sprint toward gender equality first wave feminists hoped for, but more of a slow, elderly mall walk (with frequent stops to Cinnabon) over the four hundred million hurdles we still face. Some of these obstacles are obvious-unequal pay, under-representation in government, reproductive restrictions, lack of floor-length mirrors in hotel rooms. But a lot of them are harder to identify. They're the white noise of oppression that we've accepted as lady business as usual, and the patriarchy wants to keep it that way.
Erin Gibson has a singular goal-to create a utopian future where women are recognized as humans. In Feminasty â?? titled after her nickname on the hit podcast "Throwing Shade" â?? she has written a collection of make-you-laugh-until-you-cry essays that expose the hidden rules that make life as a woman unnecessarily hard and deconstructs them in a way that's bold, provocative and hilarious.
Whether it's shaming women for having their periods, allowing them into STEM fields but never treating them like they truly belong, or dictating strict rules for how they should dress in every situation, Erin breaks down the organized chaos of old fashioned sexism, intentional and otherwise, that systemically keeps women down

It's best to process so much maddening information cushioned by some humor and chutzpah. ( )

I need to know who Erin Gibson is now that I love her and we'll be BFFS ( )

I'm a huge Throwing Shade fan, so an Erin Gibson book promised a real treat. And it is more than that: it is a tour de force of rage, humor, and absurdity over feminist issues that do not receive enough attention. I laughed and raged at the same time, and I left a little more educated. I hope there is a sequel, as well as companion books by Bryan and Sam, named Homosensual and Heterosensitive, respectively. Long live Lady Attorney! ( )

I have to admit that when I placed this library hold, I thought the author was someone else. My bad.

Nevertheless, this was a genuinely funny take on the continuing problems that women encounter everywhere from politics to medicine in living their lives, and how Gibson handled it from teenage-hood through two marriages. She narrates as an admittedly imperfect but sharp and likeable protagonist that you want to cheer for, whether she's facing off with her loony gynecologist or Mike Pence. Some of the content was v-e-r-y bawdy and I have to admit that even my jaded ass blushed a few times, but it was all done in service of a consistent theme and in a genuinely funny tone. ( )

If you like your feminist tirades full of crude humor, swear words, and zero tolerance for bullshit, then this one is for you. Needless to say, I was on board from the very beginning. Gibson takes on several topics affecting women, from lack of representation in STEM fields to abortion to #MeToo. Sample chapter title: "The Terrifying Prospect of Mike 'Vaginas are the Devil's Mouth Flaps' Pence." She is funny and irreverent and angry, and she makes some good points (she makes some not-so-good ones, too, drawing simplified conclusions about certain topics or research in a sloppy way that weakens her important points). Her goal is to entertain but also to enlighten - to draw attention to ways in which women are discounted, dismissed, and disrespected every. single. day. And in ways we often take for granted. This book won't be for everyone, but I appreciated her frankness and bravery. As she says in the introduction:

"For the last nine years, I've dedicated my career to repackaging lady sadness into digestible comedy so that we can all be a little smarter and a little savvier and can laugh together at the insane ways people try to control us." ( )
