Helpful and feasible step-by-step on how to confront sexism in everyday life. The author did well on research and urges us to do something about it, as well as inviting the privileged (men) to have an open discussion on how to reiterate the internal issues on feminism.

This book had some good information but it mostly felt like a guide to soft parenting and sometimes straight-up tricking men into being compassionate. I agree with a lot of the techniques discussed but I was hoping there would be information beyond feeding a man’s ego to convince them to respect you.

A practical, if a bit idealistic, guide to confronting casual/benevolent sexism. However, I'm not a good enough person to be this patient towards sexists. The world should know better by now.
My rating: 3.5/5

Honestly I started skimming half way through. There are some excellent and well researched points, but nothing that we don’t already know and more importantly doesn’t relate to everyone. Some people don’t find someone calling them sweetheart sexist, some find it repulsive. But bottom line, if I’m serving a customer in my job and a 40 plus man calls me “love” even though I don’t like it, I work in a customer service based role, it’s not worth the confrontation or the complaint just to prove a sexism point. This journey starts well before the timeline of this book. This starts young and at home listening to your family engage.

This was a super quick audiobook read for me! This book offers a lot of practical and realistic suggestions for how to deal with sexism in a way that can make actual change. As someone who has struggled in the past with trying to hold onto relationships with people whom I disagree with, I appreciated that this book acknowledged that the best way to go about changing minds is not always just throwing out statistics. In the past, I was definitely the person fully relying on statistics, and I think if I were to re-read this book or get a physical copy, I would be able to work toward more persistent change.
