Beschreibung
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.

Kate Mannes Buch "Down Girl" hat mir in vielerlei Hinsicht die Augen geöffnet über die tief verwurzelte Misogynie in Politik und Gesellschaft. Frauenfeindlichkeit ist nämlich keineswegs ein "individuelles Problem" sondern bildet ein kulturübergreifendes System, dem wir alle unterworfen sind und dessen Entlarvung und Dekonstruktion eine der wichtigsten Aufgaben unserer Zeit ist.
