From the creator of the viral Instagram account comes an empowering guide to navigating the hazards and horrors of online ******.
After one too many hostile ****** app encounters, Alexandra Tweten set up the Instagram account @ByeFelipe, a place for women to protest the horrors of online ******, and to share stories and screenshots of their own experiences. Three years later, the account has become a forum where women can fight back against the men who have made them uncomfortable, scared, and embarrassed-and to laugh at the appalling men they encounter.
The name of Bye Felipe is a nod to the "Bye Felicia" meme, which Urban Dictionary defines as a cool dismissal of a noxious person. In that spirit, the book helps women navigate the perils that come with swiping right and provides practical steps to overcome the harassment rampant in the ****** app ether. Blending humor, feminist theory, and solidarity, this "field guide" provides profiles of the worst types of guys (also known as "Felipes")-from the classic fat shamer to the mansplainer to the surprise sociopath-answers questions like "How do I react when a guy sends me a dic pic?," and gives women the tools they need to take control of their ****** life. With stories, screenshots, and Riot Grrrl-esque graphic art throughout, Bye Felipe empowers women to stand up for themselves and uphold the confidence and self-worth Felipes try so desperately to steal.
