Though they have the vote and the Pill and haven't been burned as witches since 1727, life isn't exactly a stroll down the catwalk for modern women. They are beset by uncertainties and questions: Why are they supposed to get Brazilians? Why do bras hurt? Why the incessant talk about babies? And do men secretly hate them? Caitlin Moran interweaves provocative observations on women's lives with laugh-out-loud funny scenes from her own, from the riot of adolescence to her development as a writer, wife, and mother. With rapier wit, Moran slices right to the truth-whether it's about the workplace, strip clubs, love, fat, abortion, popular entertainment, or children-to jump-start a new conversation about feminism. With humor, insight, and verve, How To Be a Woman lays bare the reasons why female rights and empowerment are essential issues not only for women today but also for society itself.… (mere)

    Be Awesome: Modern Life for Modern Ladies af Hadley Freeman (nessreader)
    nessreader: My love for Hadley Freeman is unbounded. Both these authors are columnists in the UK newspapers, young, female, funny and intelligent. If you've read the books of both and are hunting more in the same vein, try Lucy Mangan from the Guardian (My Family And Other Disasters) Alas, the jacket design for be awesome is godawful.… (mere)

This book was funny and pithy and blunt. Moran is not afraid to use her own life to illustrate her points, and her points are quite sharp. ( )

I picked this book up again after having only gotten partway through originally. I then listened to Caitlin Moran narrate it herself. It's even more hilarious and gorgeous and wonderful. I have More Than A Woman queued up on Mt TBR too. ( )

Insightful and hilarious from start to end. ( )

Avete presente quando state guardando un anime e a un certo punto viene sessualizzata una bambina, o comunque una ragazzina minorenne? Per quanto tu sappia che quella scena è frutto di un contesto culturale diverso dal tuo (che comunque ha il suo terrificante numero di casi di abuso su minori), il disagio inizia a scorrere prepotente nelle tue vene (per poi esplodere quando leggi i commenti di uomini che plaudono al coraggio degli studi giapponesi che, in barba al politicamente corretto, continuano a sessualizzare le bambine. Pronto, centododici?).

Ecco, leggere Ci vogliono le palle per essere una donna causa un disagio simile: sai che Moran ha il diritto di vivere la vita come meglio crede, ma la prospettiva femminista che usa per analizzarla in questo libro è stata una costante fonte di disagio. Penso che abbiamo un enorme problema con tutte questo donne che vogliono rendere il femminismo user friendly e cercano di impacchettarlo in una confezione umoristica e piena di bei discorsi sulla realizzazione personale.

Per quanto Moran si impegni, infatti, il suo libro rimane schiacciato sulla sua prospettiva e dà una visione del femminismo molto superficiale, volto più alla realizzazione personale che alla pratica di riconoscere le discriminazioni che colpiscono non solo noi, ma anche le altre persone. Il femminismo, infatti, vuole mettere in luce l’esistenza di uno standard che stabilisce come debba comportarsi ogni genere e che stritola ogni differenza. Il modo in cui si reagisce allo standard varia da femminismo a femminismo e anche da persona a persona: un po’ perché quando le norme vengono meno, si entra nel mondo della libertà della riprogettazione e della ricostruzione e non tuttз hanno le stesse esigenze; un po’ perché ogni persona è diversa e il femminismo celebra quella diversità e la lascia brillare.

Banalizzare questa complessità per scrivere un libro sbarazzino su quali scarpe possedere e sull’importanza di una buona lingerie, pieno di battute crasse e spesso decisamente poco femministe e molto cringe come esce dall’esperienza diretta dell’autrice (il capitolo sul perché non avere figliз, che segue quello sul perché averne, ne è un esempio lampante) mi è sembrato davvero terrificante. Non mi sento di consigliarne la lettura nemmeno come passatempo: passate proprio oltre. ( )

First off, A audiobook narration by the author. She's expressive and funny. I just generally like listening to British accents, too.

Now onto the content. It's hard to believe, but this book from 2010 feels pretty dated in 2017. 2016 was the year I learned the difference between white feminism and intersectional feminism. And now I can't help but see that this book as seriously lacking.

As a memoir of sorts, this completely works for me and I enjoyed it a lot. But many of Moran's political statements are the definition of white, middle class feminism. Sometimes, like when it comes to designer handbags, I thought she was just after a laugh. But other times, I cringed a bit.

The joy of this book is just that: the joy. What Moran is really arguing for is more female happiness. Women spend too much of their time worrying, beating themselves up, going along with time-wasting, restrictive, often expensive, sexist mores. The triumph of How To Be A Woman is that it adds to women's confidence. It reminds us that sexism, and all that is associated with it, is not only repressive, it is tedious and stupid. It is boring. Best give it a body swerve and get on with having fun

"Pencil skirts, skin-tight jeans and leggings - they all allow us to witness an exact outline of the wearer's pants, rather like the 'Geo-Phys print-out of an ancient drainage system on Time Team."
