How to Stand Up to Sexism
Words for when enough is enough
Ever been left speechless by sexism? From classroom to boardroom, social settings to harassment on the street, we’ve all been there. Now BritMums, along with author Toni Hargis, has a resource that will help you talk back to sexist remarks, arm your children with phrases they need as they grow and be an ally to others.
No more lying awake at night, thinking of the perfect response. How To Stand Up To Sexism delivers comebacks to everything from microaggressions to outright insults and worse, giving you the perfect response at your fingertips every time! Born out of the authors’ personal and professional experience, this book delivers truly practical options, going beyond the usual vague suggestions to “talk to the person” or “take the matter up with HR” that beg the question “YES, BUT HOW?”
How To Stand Up To Sexism prepares you to handle sexism effectively wherever you encounter it and will leave you feeling confident and in control. Finally, the answers are here!
