Download or read book Why I Am Not a Feminist written by Jessa Crispin and published by Melville House. This book was released on 2017-02-21 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Outspoken critic Jessa Crispin delivers a searing rejection of contemporary feminism . . . and a bracing manifesto for revolution. Are you a feminist? Do you believe women are human beings and that they deserve to be treated as such? That women deserve all the same rights and liberties bestowed upon men? If so, then you are a feminist . . . or so the feminists keep insisting. But somewhere along the way, the movement for female liberation sacrificed meaning for acceptance, and left us with a banal, polite, ineffectual pose that barely challenges the status quo. In this bracing, fiercely intelligent manifesto, Jessa Crispin demands more. Why I Am Not A Feminist is a radical, fearless call for revolution. It accuses the feminist movement of obliviousness, irrelevance, and cowardice—and demands nothing less than the total dismantling of a system of oppression. Praise for Jessa Crispin, and The Dead Ladies Project "I'd follow Jessa Crispin to the ends of the earth." --Kathryn Davis, author of Duplex "Read with caution . . . Crispin is funny, sexy, self-lacerating, and politically attuned, with unique slants on literary criticism, travel writing, and female journeys. No one crosses genres, borders, and proprieties with more panache." --Laura Kipnis, author of Men: Notes from an Ongoing Investigation "Very, very funny. . . . The whole book is packed with delightfully offbeat prose . . . as raw as it is sophisticated, as quirky as it is intense." --The Chicago Tribune

Things seem to be real, but those things are unheard of by the six who seem to have been chosen for a reason. After Alex is taken to be trained as an Ataxian Traitor and is betrayed by those around her, she still hasnt found the reason why she is so important in the foreshadow of Ataxia and Malums war. No one is trustworthy. No longer can she risk anything more. Alex places her trust in no ones hands and she takes it upon herself to decide right from wrong in this place. When the reason why she and the others were brought to Ataxia is revealed to her, Alex realizes the danger in being who she is, and it is far greater than she had imagined. The months of training and readying for war couldnt have prepared Alex for the things she knows, now.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: She was always the ‘perfect’ Star—until she fell… Jessa Star danced her way to the perfect ballet career, and when injury cut it short, she returned to Last Stand, Texas to open a dance studio—the perfect back-up plan. She’s convinced everyone she’s perfectly happy and perfectly fulfilled, and she’s confident the secret that could blow up her life is perfectly concealed—until her wildly imperfect bull-rider husband careens into town. Happy-go-lucky Caleb “Calamity” Ross may not be a top-tier rodeo cowboy, but he doesn’t mind. His life on the road is fun, free, and fast enough to outrun his toxic upbringing. But when a bad wreck at the Last Stand Rodeo puts him in the hospital, he wakes to find his runaway bride by his side—the one woman who might matter enough to stop him in his rambling tracks. Their marriage was a joke, but there’s nothing funny about their connection, or the threats they pose to each other’s futures. The clock is ticking on their wedding bells, and they’ll have to decide whether to say ‘I do’ again—or say goodbye.

But when he sees a beautiful, spirited girl abducted by a rival MC, rescuing her jeopardizes all he's worked for. Politician's daughter Jessa Everson knows what's expected of her—obedience, loyalty and silence—but that doesn't mean she doesn't fight when she's kidnapped by the Lords of Vengeance. Having Mathias save her is like gaining an avenging angel in leather and tattoos. But Defiance is known for brutal justice, and she may have just traded one bad situation for another. Mathias's urge to protect is too strong to ignore, no matter how much trouble Jessa brings to Defiance's gates. There's no room in the post-Chaos world for weakness so if Mathias and Jessa have any chance of surviving, they'll need to put their full strength behind the MC…and hope that the MC will do the same for them. 69,000 words

Download or read book Girls and Philosophy written by Richard Greene and published by Open Court. This book was released on 2014-12-09 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The drama-comedy show Girls—often under-rated by being perceived as Sex and the City for the Millennial generation—has made TV history and provoked controversy for its pitilessly accurate portrayal of four oddly sympathetic twenty-something female characters, notable for their self-absorption, empathy deficits, and ineptitude with relationships. Among other breakthroughs, it is the first show to depict the sex act among the alienated young as nearly always awkward and unfulfilling. In Girls and Philosophy, a team of diverse yet always sensitive, empathic, and ept philosophers approach the world of Girls from a variety of angles and philosophical points of view. Underlying this New York world is the new reality of ambitious yet unfocused young people from comparatively advantaged backgrounds having their expectations chilled by the severe and prolonged economic recession. The writers attack many fascinating issues arising from Girls, including the meaning of authenticity in the twenty-first century, coming of age in a society with no clear guidelines for most of what matters in life,Girls as the only TV show the pop-culture-hating professor Theodor Adorno might have admired, feminist appraisals of these not-very-feminist characters and their frustrations, what the wardrobes of the four mean philosophically, how each of the four deals with the anxiety that comes from inescapable freedom, whether we need to amend the traditional list of seven deadly sins in the context of present-day New York, how the speech of the Millennials illustrates Austin’s theory of speech acts, how the learning of Hannah, Shoshanna, Jessa, and Marnie compares with the ancient Greek theory of the education of the young, and of course, why we once again find it natural to think of women in their early- to mid-twenties as ‘girls’.

After her reality TV boss has a major meltdown, not-so-funemployment seems inevitable--unless she can pitch the idea of a lifetime. When she sees Flint McKay's audition tape - flanneled, handsome as hell, and building a house with his own two hands - she knows she's found her secret weapon. The women of America are going to love him, especially if she can convince him to try building without the flannel shirt.

Book excerpt: A HACKER ON THE RUN, CAUGHT BETWEEN AN OBSESSIVE MADMAN AND A LOVER WHO THINKS SHE’S DEAD. Hunted from both sides of the law, Jessa is a hacker in hiding in this intense, action-packed romance that ignites on the first page and never lets up. Once the secrets come out, not everyone will end up on the same side they started on. CODE NAME: PHOENIX I lost Jessa ten years ago, when her family was killed by a sadistic psycho. Her body was never found, and I vowed vengeance. Imagine my shock when my security team shows up to capture that same monster’s hacking team—and she comes to the door. It pales in comparison to the rage that consumes me when she chooses to run. I thought I lost her then. Now, I’ll never let her go. TARGET: JESSA I lost Jack when my family was murdered and I was forced into hiding. I searched for him for years only to be told he moved on and was living the perfect life with a new family while I fought to stay alive. Then he shows up, telling me everything I thought I knew about him was a lie, but this changes nothing. I’m still being hunted by someone I once trusted, and if I don’t recover the code I need, I’ll never be free. There’s only one problem: it’s hidden in the one place I can’t hack into, my own mind, and time is running out. *Contains language, violence, and the recollection of torture/ sexual assault (contained to one section of a chapter, not between main characters - full warning noted prior to prologue and in support of the plot).
