Description
The billions made from breaking and remaking the minds and bodies of women and girls is a disturbing reality. Abigail Bray examines the connection between the rise of cosmetic surgery, Big Pharma, porn, self-help and beauty industries, and the shock and awe doctrines of a new culture of extreme misogyny. Misogyny has become normalised as sexy, rebellious and cool, or as biological, evolutionary and natural. This book offers an unflinching account of how neoliberal ideologies about choice and responsibility have contributed to a victim-blaming culture that vilifies and silences women and girls who have been damaged by misogyny. Through this analysis, Bray sheds light on the complex web of factors that perpetuate misogyny, and highlights the need for a more nuanced understanding of its impact.
