Do you hate discrimination, the victim mentality, identity politics, and Buzzfeed? Do you like the thought of everyone having equal rights, being treated equally, taking accountability for their lives, and seeing Buzzfeed destroyed? Then we should be best friends, and this book is for you
Heightism is the discrimination against short people (or, more specifically, short men), and is just as real as the other forms of discrimination you hear about daily, such as racism, sexism, or homophobia. But because we're not a protected class under the law, it's an injustice that society has been accepting of for far too long, and one most people haven't even heard of yet.
Short men face a wage gap that's more severe than the gender wage gap. We're also more at risk of mental health issues due to bullying and a lack of self-confidence, which could lead to higher rates of suicide when compared to other demographics. If you want to see what real systemic discrimination looks like, look no further than women's unwillingness to date shorter men.
Yes, I went there.
Are you triggered yet?
While the discrimination we endure is similar to that of those in the federally protected groups, we shouldn't resort to the same pointless mindsets or tactics such as the victim mentality or identity politics that are so prevalent in society today. Playing the victim based on the color of your skin or the genitals you possess can get you some much wanted sympathy from certain segments of society, but it's also one of the biggest factors helping keep our nation politically divided today.
Besides, calling out racism or sexism where it simply doesn't exist, just as societal influencers like NFL player Michael Bennett or tennis superstar Serena Williams does, cheapens real discrimination. Do you want short men to start calling out everyone for being a heightist when anything negative happens to them?
Don't worry, we won't, because we're better than that.
This book, while it introduces you to heightism, is about rising above the victim mentality, identity politics, and the political pettiness and hatefulness that is getting worse year after year. It's about changing yourself to change the world instead of demanding others to change to appease you. It's about trying to find common ground by listening to others. It's about realizing we're all hypocrites, albeit well-meaning hypocrites, when it comes to fighting for what we believe in.
Also, it's about boycotting and destroying Buzzfeed.
I'm fortunate to quote some of my favorite influencers in the book, such as Dave Rubin, Cassie Jaye, Condoleezza Rice, Christina Hoff Sommers, Ben Shapiro, and Darryl Davis. They stand up for what they believe in and don't back down when controversy arises, yet they all remain respectful and keep an open mind to those they may disagree with. If you're a fan of the Intellectual Dark Web (IDW), you'll enjoy this book.
While you won't agree with everything I say, my hope is that we can all learn something from each other.
Act accordingly.

Описание: The lure of cowgirls and cowboys has hooked the American imagination with the lure of freedom and adventure since the turn of the twentieth century. The cowboy and cowgirl played in the imagination and made rodeo into a symbolic representation of the Western United States. As a sport that is emblematic of all things "Western," rodeo is a phenomenon that has since transcended into popular culture. Rodeo's attraction has even spanned oceans and lives in the imaginations of many around the world. From the modest start of this fantastic sport in open fields to celebrate the end of a long cattle drive or to settle a friendly "who's the best" bet between neighboring ranches, rodeo truly has grown into an edge-of-the-seat, money-drawing, and crowd-cheering favorite pastime. However, rodeo has diverse history that largely remains unaccounted for, unexamined, and silenced. In Gender, Whiteness and Power in Rodeo Tracey Owens Patton and Sally M. Schedlock visually explore how race, gender, and other issues of identity complicate the mythic historical narrative of the West. The authors examine the experiences of ethnic minorities, specifically Latinos, American Indians, and African Americans, and women who have continued to be marginalized in rodeo. Throughout the book, Patton and Schedlock questioned the binary divisions in rodeo that exists between women and men, and between ethnic minorities and Whites-divisions that have become naturalized in rodeo and in the mind of the general public. Using iconic visual images, along with the voices of the marginalized, Patton and Schedlock enter into the sometimes acrimonious debate of cowgirls and ethnic minorities in rodeo.

Автор: Cote Amanda C. Название: Gaming Sexism: Gender and Identity in the Era of Casual Video Games ISBN: 1479802204 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781479802203 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 25080.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание:
Interviews with female gamers about structural sexism across the gaming landscape When the Nintendo Wii was released in 2006, it ushered forward a new era of casual gaming in which video games appealed to not just the stereotypical hardcore male gamer, but also to a much broader, more diverse audience. However, the GamerGate controversy six years later, and other similar public incidents since, laid bare the internalized misogyny and gender stereotypes in the gaming community. Today, even as women make up nearly half of all gamers, sexist assumptions about the what and how of women’s gaming are more actively enforced.
In Gaming Sexism, Amanda C. Cote explores the video game industry and its players to explain this contradiction, how it affects female gamers, and what it means in terms of power and gender equality. Across in-depth interviews with women-identified gamers, Cote delves into the conflict between diversification and resistance to understand their impact on gaming, both casual and “core” alike. From video game magazines to male reactions to female opponents, she explores the shifting expectations about who gamers are, perceived changes in gaming spaces, and the experiences of female gamers amidst this gendered turmoil. While Cote reveals extensive, persistent problems in gaming spaces, she also emphasizes the power of this motivated, marginalized audience, and draws on their experiences to explore how structural inequalities in gaming spaces can be overcome. Gaming Sexism is a well-timed investigation of equality, power, and control over the future of technology.
