Laura Bates’s—The New Age of Sexism

Laura Bates’s—The New Age of Sexism

This is a very difficult book to read. It’s not the language—it’s the content. But an important present day view especially important for all women as it explores misogynistic software such as Deepfakes and Metaverse as well as the long term influences this has on men and therefore women’s safety and relationships. There are also chapters on sex robots, image based sexual abuse that is rampant. For example, in Korea, women fear using public washrooms because men are placing hidden cameras in them. Then the author fact checks AI and finds it is not always correct. Additionally, it is stereotyping its responses.

Well written and researched. I highly recommend this book.
