Fix the System, Not the Women

Product Information

It was brutally honest, not to mention sickening to read, but I was so glad I pushed through, because I felt like I needed to, and I feel that this book is equally important to men and women alike. Maybe the lady is from a different generation and those who she collected data from (experiences) but a lot of the things didn't seem to be common in my generation, maybe they were flattened.

And men not getting convicted because “they were stressed about their job, so it’s understandable that they took up skirt pictures of women on the bus”. Saber dónde estoy parada, no precisamente hablando de la situación de UK, porque hacía ahí me dirigía/estaba cuando lo leí, sino en general: qué me tocó vivir. She begins with her own list, a list of events or situations in which she has been the victim of sexism, harassment or assault.i wish i was shocked and as much as it was hard to read it wasn’t because it wasn’t new information it was just that the information shouldn’t be targeted at me it should be men. And it’s sad and infuriating reading all these stories of abuse, harassment, abuse of power, exclusion, and rape. Sebuah kritik tertulis dari Bates kepada 5 ekosistem institusi yang menindoktrinasi, memaksakan, dan menormalisasi inequality. Don't get me wrong, I was enraged for half of it and in tears for the rest, but I am grateful to have access to such information and would recommend it to everyone. How anyone could possibly argue that women are fairly treated in a system not designed for them after reading this is beyond me?

We need to stop policing and blaming women for everything - their own safety, their own assault, their own discrimination and essentially most things they ever do - and hold our white male privileged figures of authority to account. Thank you Laura Bates for writing such an important book and for advocating for those of us who had not yet been able to, or might never, find the right words. FIX THE SYSTEM, NOT THE WOMEN no fue el primer libro de feminismo que leí; sí el que más me ha marcado hasta ahora.

Kali ini pilihanku jatuh kepada buku barunya Laura Bates yang berjudul Fix the System, Not the Women. Bates’s central message, which she has developed through her Everyday Sexism Project, the online forum that has now received 200,000 stories of sexism and misogyny from all over the world, and books including Girl Up (2016) and Men Who Hate Women (2020), is that there is a spectrum of gender inequality. Ik kan dit boek aanraden voor allen die het grotere plaatje willen inzien, het systeem in plaats van enkel het individu. Laura talks about intersectional feminism, about how it’s not the women who should change but how all the problems are rooted in our systems on different levels.
