A helpful and practical short guide on how to deal with microaggressions of sexism. Which I found helpful on how to proactively challenge micro sexist comments/actions to help enable positive change from those you are trying to influence in your day to day life.This isn't a book on how to deal with overt sexism (that's a different book) but that everyday benevolent sexism that can often come from unconscious bias. Recommended read for us feminists who need some tips on challenging day-to-day mis...
Sexism sucks. It's even more frustrating when it's micro-sexism, where it's "supposed" to be intended as a joke and you're "not supposed to take it so seriously.""You're so cute when you're mad." No, I'm mad because I'm mad and I want to be respected, not just as a woman, but as a human being.I hear this kind of shit all the time and as someone who avoids confrontation as much as possible, I never really know how to respond to it.

Celeste Headlee has written a very short and practical guide to fight sexism. I listened to the audio in Scribd. I enjoyed and learned from it. It is quite interesting how her ideas are very closely related to coaching techniques such as powerful questions and the COIN (context, observation, impact and next) method as a conflict protocol in relationships.
There is a lot I disagree with in this book, but there is also some really good advice for how to have difficult conversations, and it is always helpful to see where others are coming from and what their thought process is.
Excellent review of ways to confront bias. While the author’s focus was on gender bias, the same principe apply in all areas of life. I especially appreciated her emphasis on facing our own biases and do the necessary work to identify and control them
Everybody read this. Great strategies for dealing with microaggressions that leave both parties feeling better. Actionable, reasonable and simple.
2.5 Pretty straightforward with no surprises. As its subtitle promises, this work is encompassed of simple steps to confront sexism. More importantly, it grants permission and encouragement for you for do so should you face it.
