'Everyone should read Down Girl. It should be distributed in
schools and every board room, athletic department and legislative
space' - Soraya Chemaly A transformative book on how misogyny works
from a hugely influential thinker Misogyny is a hot topic, yet it's
often misunderstood. What is misogyny exactly? Who deserves to be
called a misogynist? How does misogyny contrast with sexism, and
why is it prone to persist - or increase - even when sexist gender
roles are waning? In Down Girl moral philosopher Kate Manne argues
that misogyny should not be understood primarily in terms of the
hatred or hostility some men feel toward all or most women. Rather,
it is primarily about controlling, policing, punishing and exiling
the "bad" women who challenge male dominance. And it is compatible
with rewarding "the good ones" and singling out other women to
serve as warnings to those who are out of order. An incredibly
forensic analysis of the logic of misogyny from a brilliant
thinker, Down Girl is essential reading for the #MeToo era.
