3Oranges | 3 altre recensioni | Jun 24, 2023 | Like an extended standup routine (there is lots of and lots to laugh at here), Bridget Christie lures you in during the first half of the book with some of the less insidious aspects of inequality as she argues the case for feminism and then hits the reader with the most seriously damaging aspect of patriarchal dominance.

Georgina_Watson | 3 altre recensioni | Jun 14, 2020 | Bridget Christie es una humorista sin pelos en la lengua, célebre en el Reino Unido por sus monólogos teatrales, en los que denuncia el machismo que sigue imperando en la sociedad contemporánea y reflexiona sobre la condición femenina. Y, para que sus agudas reflexiones cargadas de sarcasmo quedasen negro sobre blanco, una editora–sobre la que Christie se apresura a explicarnos que también ha publicado en inglés el Mein Kampf de Hitler (eso sí, en edición crítica y anotada)–le pidió que escribiese todo eso que explica, parodia y condena sobre un escenario. El resultado es este libro, entre la evocación de vivencias personales (por ejemplo, cómo un pedo la convirtió en feminista: sí, un pedo, han leído bien) y el panfleto descacharrante (por ejemplo, los tópicos inacabables sobre las feministas: no practican sexo jamás, todas son lesbianas, gordas y feas, todas nacieron en los sesenta y todas usan gafas y parecen la Velma de Scooby-Doo..., ah, y, por supuesto, todas se pasan el día quemando sujetadores).Pero hay más, porque habla también de la mutilación genital, de las escandalosas cifras de tocamientos no consentidos en los colegios británicos y de la también escandalosa brecha salarial, de las campañas de lencería con «mujeres normales», de la industria del sexo, de la dictadura del físico...… (altro)

bibliest | 3 altre recensioni | Apr 26, 2017 | A Book for Her is genuinely laugh out loud funny, but also very thought provoking. I like Bridget Christie's thought processes. In the book, I like the interplay between silly and serious, from the silly idea of women like Christine Lagarde and Angela Merkel interrupting the serious womanly business of twirling for physical approval with fluff like heading up the IMF or being German Chancellor, to the serious point that feminism is about equality in all things and the right not to be defined by your gender or for your gender to be used as a reason for not being allowed to do something. It's a book that I think everyone should read because it's straightforward about how ridiculous sexism, misogyny and anti-feminist attitudes are if you think about what's being said, and it's an incredibly funny book that doesn't make you feel preached at. I like thought provoking socio-political discourse, but I like being made to laugh at how ridiculous the world is more.… (altro)

No, really, that was a part I liked. The parts I didn't like were other parts.
