No Excuses
No Excuses: 9 Ways Women Can Change How We Think about Power | Gloria Feldt
2 posts | 2 to read
Feminist icon Gloria Feldt pulls no punches in this new book, which argues that the most confounding problem facing women today isnOCOt that doors of opportunity arenOCOt open, but that not enough women are walking through them. From the boardroom to the bedroom, public office to personal relationships, she asserts that nobody is keeping women from parity?except themselves. Feldt puts women's power into an historical context, showing the ways in which women have made huge leaps forward in the past, only to pull back right when they were at the threshold. Feldt argues that there's no excuse?whether it's the way women are socialized, or pressure to conform, or work/life balance issues?for women today not to own their power. Women are still facing unequal pay, being passed over for promotions, entering public office at a much lesser rate than men, and oftentimes still struggling with traditional power dynamics in their interpersonal relationships. Feldt's solution to all these places where women face inequality is the same: we need to shift the way we think to achieve true parity with our male counterparts. "No Excuses" is divided into nine chapters that organized around how women can change the way they think, and therefore the way they act. These include: Know Your History and You Can Create the Future of Your Choice; Define the Terms?First; Embrace Controversy; Employ Every Medium; and other helpful ideas for using the tools and resources women already have to create the changes they want to see. "No Excuses" is a timely and invaluable book to help women equalize gender power in politics, work, and love.

Now that I‘m fired up about the recent #botm changes I stalked their Instagram and found that they are telling people to reference this recent post on their blog “explaining” their choice to eliminate the judge blurbs. But while it explains some of the new features they have added it gives no reasoning for eliminating the judges. I believe they are making budget cuts that are going to cost them in the long run when memberships are not renewed 😒

MicheleinPhilly 🙄A New Choosing Experience i.e. We Are Going to Eliminate Anything That Costs Us Money. 7y
The_Heeler_Booklife I don‘t see why they couldn‘t have put that feature on plus the judges. But, if they are doing budget cuts, then it is best to be honest with your customers instead of being shady. They told a few people about the discussion board was because they are adding them to each individual book. I guess we will see... 7y
Reviewsbylola Just a steaming pile of bullshit. I used to sing the praises of botm‘s customer service. NOT ANYMORE. They may as well post a blog post that says “we don‘t care about our customers or their feedback!” Because that‘s how I feel. 7y

Captivatedbybooks I liked the judges its how i chose my books 😮 7y
imabusybee Its sad. I liked the judhes. I did send an email havent heard from them but since I cancel my membership today I am thinking they dont care what the customers think. 7y
Cinfhen Such a bunch of BS....after my membership expires I'm probably done with BOTM 😢 7y
MicheleinPhilly @Reviewsbylola Of course there are people on IG SINGING the praises of this new “experience.” I‘m actually laughing at some of these people who “didn‘t want to read an essay to decide.” Um, you do know this is a book club, right? Reading is sort of the point. 7y
swishandflick I think I'm gonna send them an email to cancel both of my subscriptions before they renew. And I'm kind of sad (feels like the end of an era), but this is just not cool. They're justifications are wholly inadequate. @emilyhaldi @Reviewsbylola 7y
swishandflick @MicheleinPhilly OMG right?! It's not like you HAD to read it before picking! It's some BS. 7y
Reviewsbylola Hahaha ikr. If you didn‘t want to read it, it‘s not like it was required. 🤣🤣 I wouldn‘t be making a big stink about the missing judges if it weren‘t just the last bad decision in a string of bad decisions made by BOTM. @swishandflick @MicheleinPhilly 7y
Reviewsbylola I wrote them a super long email on 1/8/18. It took them TEN days to respond and they basically said sorry you feel like that, would you like a book credit? 🙄🙄 @imabusybee 7y
Reviewsbylola I still like their selections but I may quit out of protest. 😂😂. @Cinfhen 7y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks So frustrating!! I love hardcover, and while you can get books cheaper other places they may not be brand new or debut/emerging authors. Although this month‘s selections only feature one new author which is Tom Miller, right? So I‘m undecided on what to do!!! @Cinfhen @Reviewsbylola @MicheleinPhilly @swishandflick PLUS our book club is #BotmBuddyRead 🤣😂 7y
Cinfhen It won't be the same without BOTM but I'm bummed about their new approach which basically crapped all over their loyal customers and biggest cheerleaders @Reviewsbylola @MicheleinPhilly @swishandflick this has been going on since Sept 2017 when I called to complain and customer service basically told me to suck it😝😫🙄😖😱 7y
Cinfhen Hahaha @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks that sucks!!!! 7y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Cinfhen I‘ll just keep it and buy only one! 🤥 😝😜 @Liberty posted she would be back!!!! 7y
emilyhaldi @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Cinfhen @Reviewsbylola @swishandflick @MicheleinPhilly @allthingskayla @Captivatedbybooks @imabusybee Glad to see Liberty‘s recent post that she will be back... but i am confused why they would drop everything just to potentially bring it back in a month? Regardless, the cost is still too high for me to feel like #botm is worth it in the future 😏 (edited) 7y
Cinfhen That's how I'm feeling, Em!! Their pricing isn't really favoring customer loyalty and I'm still perplexed about that weird survey I received!! It was asking me about apparel brands!?!???! 7y
Reviewsbylola Yup, I felt like their response to me was the same. @Cinfhen 7y
Mdargusch My subscription was up for renewal January 31st, so I decided to pull the plug. I‘m so torn because I loved it so much back in the good old days. @Cinfhen @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @swishandflick @emilyhaldi @Reviewsbylola 7y
Reviewsbylola Mine is up in July so I‘m going to see how the next few months go. Such a bummer. 7y
Beachesnbooks Ugh this whole "new look" thing is such BS. They should have reached out in an email and explained if they were going to make a huge change like getting rid of the judges (or not done it at all!!!). So frustrated. I only have 1 month before I have to renew or quit but in the meantime I'm emailing them and complaining in hopes they reconsider 7y
Cinfhen You actually pulled the plug @Mdargusch !?!? Are you feeling the side effects??? My membership expires end of April ~ that's two months for BOTM to wow me with a new membership plan otherwise I'm done too😪 7y
