    About this audiobook

    ‘The Internet was supposed to be for everyone...It was supposed to liberate us from gender.'

    It's a tough time to be a woman on the internet. Over the past two generations, the political map of human relations has been redrawn by feminism and by changes in technology. In Cybersexism, Laurie Penny goes to the dark heart of the matter and asks why threats of violence are being used to try to silence female voices, analyses the structure of online misogyny, and makes a case for real freedom of speech – for everyone.

      Cybersexism is an excerpt from Laurie Penny's book Unspeakable Things: The New Sexual Counter-Revolution.

      I have no idea who the target audience for this piece is, but it wasn't me. I've been there, online, right next to Penny; none of this is new to me. Dozens and dozens of feminists online have said all these same things and I've watched it happen in real-time.

      This excerpt reads like one long stream of consciousness blog post, containing Penny's thoughts on sexism and details about her personal sex life. She is a good writer, but it's distracting and confusing the way she shifts back and forth from serious discussions to an ode to sex toys.

      As I said, I'm not the target audience for this piece and probably not for her upcoming book. But if you aren't familiar with the state of sexism online then you might be.
