1) Why did Laura Bates start the Everyday Sexism project? Laura Bates started the Everyday Sexism project to rise awareness in sexism which happens everyday without people actually realizing. She started the project after she was sexually harassed, verbally abused and experiencing sexism everyday. 2) How does the Everyday Sexism project link to the concept of post-feminism?
