Welcome to Litsy!

Perfect example of sexism. My daughter had 2 fliers sent home for basketball camps at the high school down the road. Both camps are sponsored by the same booster club. The boys get a nice card & the girls get a photocopy. Also the boys camp only has a $5 late fee for registering after a certain date & the girls it‘s a $20 fee. I told my husband that this shows girls don‘t matter as much as boys (I know that most parents don‘t think this but it

I‘ve been slowly reading this book for the last month. I want to part vomit, throw the book across the room, sign my daughter up for every self defense class from now until eternity. My oldest (he‘s 21) he‘s been telling me for the last few years that social media is a cesspool. He said the white supremacy is so bad. It‘s good to be knowledgeable but ugh this is horrific. Its of course only gotten worse since the 🍊one is back & now that he‘s a

I listened to this book in March, & I love it! The narrator is great—she gets all the sarcastic comments right. Warning—This book will probably make you mad about the history of women‘s medical treatment. I learned so much. I think it‘s obvious in our history that 1) men are terrified of women & our vaginas & 2) men only care about a woman‘s uterus. I laughed while driving several times from the sarcasm, so I hope you all will read this. 5⭐️

3.75/5
While I prefer Foster and Small Things Like These, these three short stories are still very representative of Keegan's writing style: well-written story which slowly but surely sucks you in.

This was written in 2020. It‘s galling how much worse things have gotten since then and frustrating how many of the online right wing figures referenced feel dated, but have been seamlessly replaced in online spaces by NEW online misogynists (and government officials).

A challenging but important read covering how the red pill / incel movements pervade (more than we realise) for the harm of all people and their intersection with white supremacy.

I read the first nine chapters of this book in January this year. At that time, I thought that I didn‘t really like it that much, and I didn‘t know why everyone else was so into it. But, I picked it up yesterday and couldn‘t put it down till I finished it. My guess is that when I first started it I was just so overloaded with school and work that I couldn‘t enjoy it. Finishing this book was much more enjoyable than when I started it.

We all have certain political issues that are our most important. For me, abortion rights are among them for the health and safety of all women. So, I keep up on what‘s going on. But I still didn‘t know some of the infuriating things Valenti reveals in this factual, straightforward clearinghouse of what‘s happened with abortion since the fall of Roe. This is a vital resource for all in the US.

The title is pretty self explanatory in what its about.

I feel that I finally had some arguments if I ever where to get into a discussion with a pro-lifer. And that actually feels great.

For me gaslighting was a term that suddenly turned about and was everywhere. Now I feel that I finally understand what it is and how it‘s used

I‘m so glad #SheSaid made me aware of this book so I read it
