Take the common truism that women who sleep around are sluts while men are studs. Why is it that men grow distinguished and sexily gray as they age while women just get saggy and haggard? Have you ever wondered how a young woman is supposed to both virginal and provocatively enticing at the same time? Isn&#8217;t it unfair that working moms are labeled &#8220;bad&#8221; for focusing on their careers while we shake our heads in disbelief when we hear about the occasional stay-at-home dad?<br><br>In <i>50 Double Standards Every Woman Should Know,</i> Jessica Valenti, author of Full Frontal Feminism, calls out the double standards that affect every woman. Whether Jessica is pointing out the wage earning discrepancies between men and women or revealing all of the places that women still aren&#8217;t equal to their male counterparts&#8212;be it in the workplace, courtroom, bedroom, or home&#8212;she maintains her signature wittily sarcastic tone. With sass, humor, and in-your-face facts, this book informs and equips women with the tools they need to combat sexist comments, topple ridiculous stereotypes (girls aren&#8217;t good at math?), and end the promotion of lame double standards.</div> 2187351 1 5 2008 He's a Stud, She's a Slut, and 49 Other Double Standards Every Woman Should Know total:155|5:42|4:49|3:48|2:13|1:3| 155 579 425 36 2 2 false false Mon Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat May 17 11:22:53 -0700 2008 Thu Sep 18 09:28:05 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 2 false false Fri May 30 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Apr 20 09:39:46 -0700 2008 Fri May 30 11:20:09 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Dec 14 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 15 11:43:19 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 15 12:02:37 -0800 2008 1 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 08 07:25:40 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 08 08:25:03 -0800 2008 1 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Jan 19 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 15 19:01:33 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 19 06:52:52 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 2 false false Sat Sep 20 15:34:26 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 20 15:35:03 -0700 2008 3 1 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 08 05:54:40 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 08 05:57:31 -0800 2009
