The Power of Rude

- Blurb -

"Of all the things in the world to worry about, why would anyone put the right for women to be rude at the top of the list? It' s a fair question. Happily, there is a very simple answer: I believe that an inability to be rude is one of the biggest issues which still inhibits the equality of women today. " THE POWER OF RUDE will discuss the way women are constantly worrying about being polite, even finding themselves in uncomfortable situations they' d rather avoid due to a fear of saying the wrong thing. For example, we' ll learn about the woman who paid for an entire hen do that she wasn' t even invited on (because she didn' t want to be rude!), the woman who let her cousin practice kissing on her (because she didn' t want to be rude!) and the vegan woman who ate an entire pork chop (because she didn' t want to be rude!). This empowering call-to-arms will journey through dating, family relationships, sex, the workplace, money, customer service, and more and show women how we can reclaim the word ' rude' and use it to advantage. For decades, women have been called ' bossy' , ' hysterical' and ' neurotic' in situations where men might simply be dubbed ' assertive' . We need to change the narrative around women and we need to use our voices to take control. Rebecca Reid isn' t afraid to show us how.
