Misogyny across Global Media argues that, although women's
experiences under misogyny are by no means universal, patriarchal
social and institutional systems facilitate gender-based hostility
across the globe. Contributors demonstrate how systemic misogyny
and power inequities are at the root of women's suffering at the
hands of misogyny, with consequences ranging from sexual harassment
to rape and even murder. This book provides an interdisciplinary
overview of systemic misogyny worldwide, analyzing specific cases
such as the controversial Child Marriage Act in Bangladesh, sexual
harassment in India's Bollywood culture, rape culture among
military forces in Jammu and Kashmir, the murder of female students
in Kenya, and femicide in Turkey. This collection discusses how
misogyny creates a clash of cultures between men and women, the
powerful and the oppressed, and the conservative and the liberal,
and uncovers the evils that are perpetrated against women worldwide
as a result of systemic misogyny. Scholars of gender studies, media
studies, and cultural studies will find this book particularly
useful.
