Wimmin Wimps Wallflowers An Encyclopaedic Dictionary of Gender and Sexual Orientation Bias in the United States' is a groundbreaking book that delves into the intricate and complex web of gender and sexual orientation bias in the United States. The book is a comprehensive guide that explores the various forms of discrimination faced by women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and other marginalized communities in America. Through a detailed and well-researched definition of terms, the author sheds light on the nuances of these biases and how they affect different groups of people. The book begins with an introduction to the concept of 'wimmin wimps', a term coined by the author to describe the ways in which women are socialized to be weak and submissive, while men are encouraged to be strong and dominant. This sets the stage for the rest of the book, which delves into the various forms of gender and sexual orientation bias that exist in society today. The first section of the book focuses on the history of gender and sexual orientation bias, from the early feminist movements to the modern-day struggles of the LGBTQ+ community. The author provides a detailed account of the evolution of technology and its impact on gender and sexual orientation bias, highlighting the ways in which technology has both empowered and disempowered marginalized communities.
