AWW21 Know Her Place: The Philosophy of Misogyny and Male Entitlement - Kate Manne

Misogyny is the “law enforcement arm of patriarchy” that polices
and punishes “bad women” who threaten male dominance, argues
philosopher Kate Manne in Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny,
Entitled: How Male Privilege Hurts Women then outlined the
illegitimate sense of entitlement that enables men to grasp power
and authority for themselves, and demand emotional and physical
care from women. Described as “the Simone de Beauvoir of the 21st
Century”, Kate offers a radical new framework through which to
understand misogyny.
