About this listen

From the wickedly funny and feminist creator and host of the Throwing Shade podcast, a collection of hilarious personal essays and political commentary perfect for fans of Lindy West and Roxane Gay.

Since women earned the right to vote a little less than 100 years ago, our progress hasn't been the Olympic sprint toward gender equality first-wave feminists hoped for, but more of a slow, elderly mall walk (with frequent stops to Cinnabon) over the 400 million hurdles we still face. Some of these obstacles are obvious - unequal pay, underrepresentation in government, reproductive restrictions, lack of floor-length mirrors in hotel rooms. But a lot of them are harder to identify. They're the white noise of oppression that we've accepted as lady business as usual, and the patriarchy wants to keep it that way.

Erin Gibson has a singular goal - to create a utopian future where women are recognized as humans. In Feminasty - titled after her nickname on the hit podcast Throwing Shade - she has written a collection of make-you-laugh-until-you-cry essays that expose the hidden rules that make life as a woman unnecessarily hard and deconstructs them in a way that's bold, provocative, and hilarious. Whether it's shaming women for having their periods, allowing them into STEM fields but never treating them like they truly belong, or dictating strict rules for how they should dress in every situation, Erin breaks down the organized chaos of old-fashioned sexism, intentional and otherwise, that systemically keeps women down.

I have been looking forward to this book's release because I knew that Erin Gibson's particular brand of empowering woman is funny, raw, and so much needed right now. But I was blown away by the performance of this audio book. I feel the power in her words in a way that you just can't get on the written page.

The audio book is the way to go for this title

Erin Gibson is hilarious, irreverent, poignant, boisterous and all around on point. As an Irish lady, I want to have drinks with. I also want pick her brain on the topics she lists at the end that were not covered. I actually took notes on some of the action items for women to have more control of the retail portion of our lives. Bravo Erin.

Required reading for all feminists! (That’s not a bad word.)n

This is one of those books where you need to listen instead of read for the full experience. I’m not sure whether I loved her pirate Mike Pence voice more or if I loved her North Dakota mall employee voice better.

All I know is I laughed the whole time.

The points made in this encompasses many of the thoughts I’d been having for the last decade. I thought I was alone on many of these issues. I now know others have them we just don’t talk about it. These pearls are wrapped up into a nice entertaining and funny package. Quick easy fast read. You are not alone and you are not my competition.

Everything I’d been thinking in a funny package
