Description
Be the best feminist you can be?or at least look like one?with this definitive manual, from the satirical creators of the wildly popular "feminist Onion" humor website, Reductress.
From hot feminist sex to a trendy feminist up-do, the bold and brilliant minds behind Reductress reveal the secrets to being super progressive?and cool, hip, and pretty. Feminism today means demanding gender equality?and a fabulous manicure. After all, we're not wearing girdles and cleaning the house anymore. We're wearing Spanx and hiring a cleaning lady. That's feminism!
How to Win at Feminism defines what's feminist and what isn't, shows you how to take up space (but not too much space), identifies which clothes and products to be offended by, and offers funny insight, knowledge, tips, and advice every fourth-wave feminist needs, including:
- How to Love Your Body Even Though Hers is Better
- The 9 Circles of Hell for Women Who Don't Help Other Women
- Designer Handbags to Hold All Your Feminism
- How to Apologize for Having it All
- Finding Your Spirit Feminist
- Rebranding Your Relationship Issues as Feminist Issues
- How to Do More With 33 Cents Less
With this ultimate guide?complete with four-color sidebars and illustrations?you can femsplain feminism to basic friends, and and learn how to battle the patriarchy while maintaining a dependable moisturizing routine. We may have come a long way, baby, but we have a long way to go. How to Win at Feminism is the road map to get there!

Persons
Reductress is a fast-growing, satirical website that takes on the voice of a stereotypical women's magazine to deliver smart, wickedly funny content that subversively points out how the media has co-opted feminism in a strange and absurd way. Referred to as the ?feminist Onion,? it pokes fun at the messages we're fed from an early age and throughout adulthood. Headlines include ?How to Make a Cry for Help Without Bothering Anyone? and ?Maybe You SHOULD Smile: Cat-Callers Who Make Some Good Points?. Since its creation in 2013, it has exploded in popularity, with its on-point criticism wrapped in hilarious headlines and features, appealing to intelligent young fans of Lena Dunham's Girls, and of course, Beyonce. Reductress was founded by Beth Newell and Sarah Pappalardo, the authors of this book.
