westernstephanie 's review for:

How To Be a Woman by Caitlin Moran
3.0

I was really, really excited for this book, and there was a lot about it that I really liked, but I had a hard time with all the language. Just . . . MAN that's a lot of bad language, and names for genitalia. But some of her points were just awesome, including these:

You don't have to tell people that they are being sexist. You can just say that they are being rude, and that can be enough.

To decide if something is a sexist issue, ask yourself if this is something Jon Stewart has to worry about. Example: mandated bikini waxing, women being mean/unsupportive to other women, etc. If it's something that Jon Stewart and, by extension, men in general, don't have to worry about, then it's a made up thing that has been put onto women.
