'We are all sexists. None of us can claim to be the exception that proves the rule. And very few men have the right to call themselves true feminists.'These are the stark conclusions of Swedish business consultant and recruitment adviser Lars Einar Engström, who describes himself as a psychologist - and a sexist. But the author believes himself to be at last awakening from decades of conditioning that left him dismissive of women’s rights to equality, unresponsive to their claims to be heard, insensitive to the qualities they bring to the workplace, and prejudiced against females in management roles. Through meticulous examination and analysis of our upbringing, our schooling and our behaviour and use of language at work, he demonstrates how we have created and sustained dangerous misconceptions and debilitating stereotypes. He spares no one - not even those women who contribute to their own subjugation. Challenging, sobering and unfailingly illuminating, this book is certain to realise the author’s vision and become an ’alarm clock’ for as yet unawakened sexists. By daring to suggest practical ways in which we can all change our habits to promote equality, Confessions of a Sexist helps us take the first steps towards a happier, more balanced and quite simply better world.Confessions of a Sexist was first published in Swedish in 2005 and in Danish and Icelandic in 2007.
