Misogyny is being hardwired into our future. Can we stop it?

We like to believe we're moving closer to equality, riding the wave of technological progress into a brighter, fairer future. But beneath the glossy surface of innovation lies a chilling truth: new technologies are not just failing to solve age-old inequalities—they're deepening them.

In The New Age of Sexism, acclaimed author and activist Laura Bates exposes how misogyny is being coded into the very fabric of our future. From the biases embedded in artificial intelligence to the alarming rise of sex robots and the toxic dynamics of the metaverse, Bates takes readers on a shocking journey into a world where technology is weaponized against women.

This isn't a dystopian warning about what might happen. It's a harrowing account of what's happening now and the dangers we face if we don't act. With clarity and urgency, Bates reveals how these advancements are dragging society backward, reinforcing harmful stereotypes, and jeopardizing decades of progress in the fight for gender equality.

Eye-opening and empowering, The New Age of Sexism is a rallying cry for awareness and action in a world where the battle for equality has entered a dangerous new frontier.

Product description

Review

"Laura Bates is showing us the path to both intimate and global survival." ― Gloria Steinem

"[An] eye-popping exposé." ― Starred Review, Publishers Weekly

"...Bates presents another necessary deep dive into twenty-first-century misogyny. " ― Booklist

"The New Age of Sexism doesn’t sound like a thriller, but it reads like one, with vivid reportage, arresting stories, sharp insights and grabby stats." ― Daily Telegraph

"We are lucky to have Laura Bates . . . Be sure to lend this book to all the men in your lives when you've finished reading – or better yet, ask to borrow it after they've bought it." ― Glamour

"A powerful manifesto for a better future. Passionate and persuasive, Bates reveals how AI and tech fuel sexism―this is the wake-up call of our times." ― Marina Gerner, author of The Vagina Business

"An urgent call to action regarding the misogyny being hard-wired into our future. This is an eye-opening and terrifying read that demonstrates that artificial intelligence isn't the technology of some far off, science fiction tomorrow, it's already here. And the sexist, dehumanizing attitudes on social media and the Internet are its training ground. Women should really just be screaming all the time. I'll be adding Laura Bates' research and recommendations to my scream list." ― Rebecca Little, co-author of I'm Sorry for My Loss: An Urgent Examination of Reproductive Care in America

    5.0 out of 5 stars Very Informative

    This book is an essential read for pretty well everyone in our society, but particularly teachers and parents. I wonder what the chances are of it being set by any Teacher-Training Institute?
    Very clearly written so easily understood, but much of it I found very disturbing. That’s largely male privilege, I don’t have to think of these things, which is what Ms Bates’ book is so valuable.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Another disturbing but enlightening read from Laura Bates.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 8, 2025

    In 'Every Day Sexism', Laura Bates showed us how we often turn a blind eye to misogynistic 'micro-aggressions' because they are normalised.

    In 'Men Who Hate Women' she exposed how these 'micro-aggressions' have proliferated and developed into much more sinister and harmful behaviours, and in 'Fix The System, Not The Women', she made it clear that it is not incumbent upon women alone to fight to resolve these matters. Women are not the issue, and 'the issue' does not belong to women.

    We hear almost daily that violence against women and girls has reached crisis level, but in reality little is being done to combat this, and new threats are emerging. 'The New Age of Sexism' is a deeply uncomfortable, highly infuriating, and often quite nauseating read, but read it we must, if we are to get ahead of the freight-train that is AI before it derails what efforts we have made to combat this growing crisis.

    Laura Bates offers a critique, but not a blanket criticism of AI itself, highlighting instead our failure to understand, regulate and monitor its capabilities and applications (as is so often the case when presented with new and exciting technologies). There is no knee-jerk reaction and no suggestion that we should 'throw the baby out with the bath water'; indeed much is said about the positive elements of AI. Nevertheless, it is imperative that we understand its more sinister and problematic applications and implications before they become as normalised and embedded as the aforementioned 'micro-aggressions'. It's easy to think that if we don't engage with AI (we probably do, even if we think we don't) we'll be safe, but sticking our heads in the sand won't make the issue go away and it won't protect us. There are many potential harms, beyond the actual, individual use of AI and related products. Many will (if they haven't already) spill out into the 'real world' and Bates gives very clear illustrations of this.

    We cannot be complacent; we need to act before the genie is fully out of the bottle, and thankfully, this enlightening read offers some suggestions as to how we can do so.
