      Von Incels bis Pick Up Artists. Die Wahrheit über extreme Misogynie und wie sie uns alle betrifft

      4,4(31)Abgeben

      Stell dir eine Welt vor, in der sich über das Internet ein riesiges Netzwerk von Frauenhassern radikalisiert und praktisch unentdeckt operiert. Sie nennen sich Incels, Pick Up-Artists oder Männerrechtsaktivisten. Diese Extremisten begehen terroristische Akte gegen Frauen, weil sie sich von ihnen zurückgewiesen fühlen, sie als niederes Geschlecht ansehen oder einfach einsam sind. Du musst dir diese Welt nicht vorstellen. Du lebst bereits in ihr. Vielleicht wusstest du es nicht, weil wir in unserer Gesellschaft nicht gerne darüber sprechen. Es ist an der Zeit, dass wir damit anfangen. In diesem eindringlichen Buch geht Laura Bates, Bestsellerautorin und Gründerin vom The Everday Sexism-Project, auf Spurensuche, um frauenfeindliche Netzwerke zu entlarven. Sie führt Interviews mit ehemaligen Mitgliedern dieser Gruppen und mit Menschen, die gegen sie kämpfen, gibt einzigartige Einblicke in die Funktionsweisen dieser Bewegungen. Dabei taucht sie tief ein und macht sichtbar, wie Ideen aus den dunkelsten Ecken des Internets in Schulen, an Arbeitsplätzen und in Machtpositionen verbreitet und so zu einem Teil unseres kollektiven Bewusstseins werden. Das ist die unbequeme Wahrheit, der wir uns stellen müssen. Aber Laura Bates zeigt uns auch, was wir tun müssen, um diese frauenfeindliche Welt zu verändern.

      In a culture that's driven by social media, women are using this online space to come together, share their stories and encourage a new generation to recognise the problems that women face. This book is a call to arms in a new wave of feminism, and it proves sexism is endemic - socially, politically and economically - but women won't stand for it

      They told you you need to be thin and beautiful. They told you to wear longer skirts, avoid going out late at night and move in groups, never accept drinks from a stranger, and wear shoes you can run in more easily than heels. They told you to wear just enough make-up to look presentable but not enough to be a slut; to dress to flatter your apple, pear, hourglass figure, but not to be too tarty. They warned you that if you try to be strong, or take control, you'll be shrill, bossy, a ballbreaker. Of course it's fine for the boys, but you should know your place. They told you that's not for girls, take it as a compliment, don't rock the boat, that'll go straight to your hips. They told you 'beauty is on the inside', but you knew they didn't really mean it. Well screw that. I'm here to tell you something else. Hilarious, jaunty and bold, this book exposes the truth about the pressures surrounding body image, the false representations in media, the complexities of a sex and relationships, the trials of social media and all the other lies they told us.

      Just as Larry Newton, one of the most notorious inmates at Indiana Federal Prison, was trying to break out of jail, Dr. Laura Bates was trying to break in. She had created the world’s first Shakespeare class in supermax – the solitary confinement unit.Many people told Laura that maximum-security prisoners are “beyond rehabilitation." But Laura wanted to find out for herself. She started with the prison's most notorious inmate: Larry Newton. When he was 17 years old, Larry was indicted for murder and sentenced to life with no possibility of parole. When he met Laura, he had been in isolation for 10 years.Larry had never heard of Shakespeare. But in the characters he read, he recognized himself. In this profound illustration of the enduring lessons of Shakespeare through the ten-year relationship of Bates and Newton, an amazing testament to the power of literature emerges. But it's not just the prisoners who are transformed. It is a starkly engaging tale, one that will be embraced by anyone who has ever been changed by a book.
