description: Double standards are nothing new. Women deal with them every day. 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 be both virginal and provocatively enticing at the same time? Isnt it unfair that working moms are labeled bad for focusing on their careers while we shake our heads in disbelief when we hear about the occasional stay-at-home dad?In 50 Double Standards Every Woman Should Know author Jessica Valenti calls out the double standards that affect every woman. Whether Valenti is pointing out the wage-earning discrepancies between men and women or revealing all of the places that women still arent equal to their male counterpartsbe it in the workplace courtroom bedroom or homeshe 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 arent good at math?) and end the promotion of double standards.
