Shut Up, Lars!

The ultimate feminist guide to micro-misogyny.

We all know a Lars.

He’s that colleague, brother-in-law, or the guy in the comments who steps in to explain how equality really works. He doesn’t think he’s a sexist, he just has a few questions:
              Has feminism gone too far?
              Don’t women have it easier now?
              Isn’t misandry just as bad as misogyny?
              And what about “not all men”?

You know he’s wrong. But finding the words to disagree with him in the moment is not always easy.

Equipped with sharp humour and rigorous research, Danish feminist speaker and podcast host Henriette Tybjerg takes on 25 of the most persistent myths about women, men, and equality. From “Women only want alpha males” to “Women are bad leaders,” each chapter exposes the history, science, and truth hidden behind these harmful assumptions.

Scandinavia may be celebrated as a gender-equality success story, but the job is far from finished. The assumptions, double standards and power structures shaping gender are everywhere, and so are the Larses.

Part manifesto, part social study, part emergency handbook, Shut Up, Lars! gives you the facts, the context, and the comebacks to take down daily sexism. At any time, and anywhere.
