'I challenge any man to read this and still deny there's a problem' NEW STATESMAN
_____________________________________________________
Too often, we blame women. For walking home alone at night. For not demanding a seat at the table. For not overcoming the odds that are stacked against them.
This distracts us from the real problem: the failings and biases of a society that was not built for women. In this explosive book, feminist writer and activist Laura Bates exposes the systemic prejudice at the heart of five of our key institutions.
Education
Politics
Media
Policing
Criminal justice
Combining stories with shocking evidence, Fix the System, Not the Women is a blazing examination of sexual injustice and a rallying cry for reform.

Ein Buch welches einem nahe geht als Frau. Egal welche Art von (sexueller) Belästigung, man wird sich durch dieses Buch gesehen fühlen. Gleichzeitig wird man auch wütend beim lesen, da man immer wieder damit konfrontiert wird, dass diese Belästigungen als Einzelfälle dargestellt werden und Frauen alleine gelassen werden. Es ist definitiv eine Achterbahn an Emotionen , die man beim lesen erlebt, Auf nur etwas über 200 Seiten führt Laura Bates die Realität von Frauen auf der ganzen Welt auf und spendet trotzdem Hoffnung, dass wir als Frauen nicht das Problem sind. In einer Welt in der wie tagtäglich Misstrauen aus gesetzten sind, ob uns tatsächlich Belästigungen wiederfahren sind, gibt das Buch Hoffnung.
It is a shocking and important book. Some of the stories that the author shares are so explicit that I couldn't believe that these are things women have experienced. The amount of sexual harassment women are exposed to is shocking and shockingly normal in our society. The author shows how the mistreatment of women is embedded in every possible part of society and how this is maintained by politics by not wanting to pay attention to these problems women have to face every single day. She also provides data for her arguments, and the data is, as is the entire book, shocking. Highly recommended, not only for people who identify as female, but also for white, upper-class heterosexual men in particular who are not aware of the misogyny that is reality and a threat for women all over the world.
