Description

Kate Manne's urgent intervention offers a radical new framework for understanding misogyny. She argues that male entitlement takes many forms, from sex to admiration, bodily autonomy, knowledge, power, and care. In clear-sighted prose, Manne examines how the idea that a privileged man is tacitly deemed to be owed something pervades our culture. The consequences of this pervasive problem are often devastating for girls and women. Manne sheds new light on gender and power, offering a vision of a world in which women are just as entitled as men to be cared for, believed, and valued. With wit and intellectual fierceness, she shows how toxic masculinity is not just the product of a few bad actors, but a widespread cultural phenomenon that affects us all.
