He’s a Stud, She’s a Slut, and 49 Other Double Standards Every Woman Should Know

It’s sad that contemporary Americans need a quick, funny tutorial on the double standards of sexism. You’d think we’d be so, oh, I dunno, past it. But since we’re not (just check out the differences in the way Obama and Clinton are described: He’s “insistent,” she’s “shrill.” Think I’m kidding? Try it for a while.), at least we’ve got Seal Press, which keeps putting out these delightful little introductions to feminism. He’s a Stud, She’s a Slut belongs in the same category as the equally delightful It’s a Jungle Out There: The Feminist Survival Guide to Politically Inhospitable Environments. That is, it’s quick, funny and chock-full o’ facts. Don’t miss the insightful analysis of our national Britney obsession in the chapter titled “He’s a celebrity, she’s a mess.”
