Examines the roles of gender in the modern United States.

"In a small Texas town where high school football reigns supreme, Viv, sixteen, starts a feminist revolution using anonymously-written zines"--Provided by publisher.

After experiencing a series of escalating sexist incidents, from being harassed and wolf-whistled at on the street, to discrimination in the workplace and serious sexual assault, Laura Bates started the Everyday Sexism Project and has gone on to write 'a pioneering analysis of modern day misogyny.' The project became one of the biggest social media success stories of the internet. Bates inspires women to lead a real change and writes this book that is a protest against inequality and a manifesto for change.

Argues that many supposedly empowered contemporary women make themselves and other women into sex objects, acting as "female chauvinist pigs," and examines why this is a step back for feminism, as well as how it affects teens.

"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."--Provided by publisher.

"Despite the achievements of the women's movement over the past four decades, misogyny remains a persistent force in American culture. In this ... documentary, Thomas Keith, Professor of Philosophy at California State University, Long Beach, looks specifically at misogyny and sexism in mainstream American media, exploring how negative definitions of femininity and hateful attitudes toward women get constructed and perpetuated at the very heart of our popular culture. The film tracks the destructive dynamics of misogyny across a broad and disturbing range of media phenomena: including the hyper-sexualization of commercial products aimed at girls, the explosion of violence in video games aimed at boys, the near-hysterical sexist rants of hip-hop artists and talk radio shock jocks, and the harsh, patronizing caricatures of femininity and feminism that reverberate throughout the mainstream of American popular culture. Along the way, Generation M forces us to confront the dangerous real-life consequences of misogyny in all of its forms--making a compelling case that when we devalue more than half the population based on gender, we harm boys and men as well as women and girls"--Container.
