À propos de cet audio
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? This book is an exploration of misogyny in public life and politics by the moral philosopher and writer Kate Manne. It 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's primarily about controlling, policing, punishing, and exiling the "bad" women who challenge male dominance. And it's compatible with rewarding "the good ones," and singling out other women to serve as warnings to those who are out of order. It's also common for women to serve as scapegoats, be burned as witches, and treated as pariahs.
Manne examines recent and current events such as the Isla Vista killings by Elliot Rodger, the case of the convicted serial rapist Daniel Holtzclaw, who preyed on African-American women as a police officer in Oklahoma City, Rush Limbaugh's diatribe against Sandra Fluke, and the "misogyny speech" of Julia Gillard, then Prime Minister of Australia, which went viral on YouTube. The book shows how these events, among others, set the stage for the 2016 US presidential election. Not only was the misogyny leveled against Hillary Clinton predictable in both quantity and quality, Manne argues it was predictable that many people would be prepared to forgive and forget regarding Donald Trump's history of sexual assault and harassment. For this, Manne argues, is misogyny's oft-overlooked and equally pernicious underbelly: exonerating or showing "himpathy" for the comparatively privileged men who dominate, threaten, and silence women.

Women are angry, and it isn’t hard to figure out why. We are underpaid and overworked. Too sensitive or not sensitive enough. Too dowdy or too made-up. Too big or too thin. Sluts or prudes. We are harassed, told we are asking for it, and asked if it would kill us to smile. Yes, yes it would. Contrary to the rhetoric of popular “self-help” and an entire lifetime of being told otherwise, our rage is one of the most important resources we have, our sharpest tool against both personal and political oppression.

It's the 21st century, and although we tried to rear unisex children - boys who play with dolls and girls who like trucks - we failed. Even though the glass ceiling is cracked, most women stay comfortably beneath it. And everywhere we hear about vitally important "hardwired" differences between male and female brains. The neuroscience that we read about in magazines, newspaper articles, books, and even scientific journals increasingly tells a tale of two brains, and the result is a validation of the status quo.

In Men Explain Things to Me, Rebecca Solnit takes on the conversations between men who wrongly assume they know things and wrongly assume women don't. The ultimate problem, she shows in her comic, scathing essay, is female self-doubt and the silencing of women. Rebecca Solnit is the author of fourteen books about civil society, popular power, uprisings, art, environment, place, pleasure, politics, hope, and memory, most recently The Faraway Nearby, a book on empathy and storytelling.

A major new work by a leading historian and pioneer in women's studies, The Creation of Patriarchy is a radical reconceptualization of Western civilization that makes gender central to its analysis. Gerda Lerner argues that male dominance over women is not "natural" or biological, but the product of an historical development begun in the second millennium BC in the Ancient Near East. As patriarchy as a system of organizing society was established historically, she contends, it can also be ended by the historical process.

Women are standing up and #shoutingback. In a culture that's driven by social media, for the first time women are using this online space (@EverydaySexism www.everydaysexism.com) to come together, share their stories, and encourage a new generation to recognise the problems that women face. This book is a call to arms in a new wave of feminism and it proves sexism is endemic - socially, politically, and economically. But women won't stand for it.

Valuable insight into misogyny
Un problème est survenu. Veuillez réessayer dans quelques minutes.
It is a heavily academic book. This first section Eating Her Word is almost ridiculously academic. Skip it if you wish or bare down. It lays out a thesis, scoop, and bias. Unlike other books of a similar topic this is more academic in research and philosophical university book. Along with properly defining misogyny. Which is also good as a foundation for the rest of the book. The conclusion is EPIC, The Giving She and has a great review of each chapter. But if you like Shel Silverstein you will never read them the same way! (OMG)
A good short hand Mann has left with me, Sexism is a lab coat. Misogyny is a witch hunt.
It is not purely anecdotal it has many studies and world life events that Mann then proves not only the misogyny of the event but also the systemic issues that leads to bolster misogyny view.
Mann has an interesting view point. Beyond showing why there is document killing of women, scientific repeated studies of bias’s against women and realities of the world that leave women at a lesser state. But she is not liberal or far left, unless you believe equality and equity between men and women is a left wing belief. Rather she takes aim at why these things exist. And calls out all sides of the political spectrum for various failing and explores various philosophical theories.
At no point does Mann state that people should just shut up and let women be women. Rather they examine the root causes of distress found in men, society and/or cultures. They fully agree that the statement that women are taking things away from men is valid. Women, Mann states are taking jobs and are redefine work and relationship balances. However, Mann’s ultimate query is why is that an issue. Why cannot women move into these spheres? Why then must women die because of it? Why must women return to a pervious and possible false past role?
Why must women be unduly hated/killed for succeeding as people? Or really why must men hate/kill women when those men no longer feel like men?
There are many stories, documentation, and studies used but this one is fascinating, not only the outcome but how Mann interpret it. The interesting example is a study in which male children are physically soothed more by caregivers, than girls. Despite controls like the caretaker being told at random child the child’s sex. Meaning caregivers decided to give more physical attention to children they thought were male, over children they thought were female. As Mann noted this doesn’t mean one is better than the other. Noting that because girls are talk to when distressed rather than physically soothed and coddled this may develop their language skill earlier than boys. Or even potentially set boys up for failure as they end up expecting this extra attention and privileged only to be unable to handle life when it disappears.
The book, as stated in the introduction, focuses on the USA and Australia, because Mann lives and knows the culture and history in-depth to feel comfortable to write this manifesto. Mann talks about Rush Limbaugh, Isla Vista Killings, Clinton & Trump, PM Gillard, debate of birth control, Himpathy, Rape strategy and judicial system ie Broke Turner, the culture of victim hood and intimate partner violence.
Personal note. This book was written during Trump’s presidency. Given that Trump has not been the USA President for the last 9 months I have forgotten so much of what he did, and how prevalent his name is iterated during feminist and misogynist texts. So be aware.
Down Girl is good book for anyone that has a passive interest in academic study of feminism and gender studies. All of the subjects are recent and big enough that the reader should remember the new event. And find an interesting more nuance reading of it. Along with the later results.
Sadly like all misogyny books it is not about women, but about how men view women. And at times makes you feel, if you are a women, why do I bother. As Mann said them self.
As Mann concludes “one woman’s misogyny is another man’s poetic Justice”.
Academic and Dense
