Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny by Kate Manne (English) Hardcover Book

Description: Down Girl by Kate Manne Down Girl is a broad, original, and far ranging analysis of what misogyny really is, how it works, its purpose, and how to fight it. The philosopher Kate Manne argues that modern societys failure to recognize womens full humanity and autonomy is not actually the problem. She argues instead that it is womens manifestations of human capacities - autonomy, agency, political engagement - is what engenders misogynist hostility. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Misogyny is a hot topic, yet its 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 menfeel toward all or most women. Rather, its primarily about controlling, policing, punishing, and exiling the "bad" women who challenge male dominance. And its compatible with rewarding "the goodones," and singling out other women to serve as warnings to those who are out of order. Its 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 Limbaughs diatribe against Sandra Fluke, and the "misogynyspeech" 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 wasthe 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 Trumps history of sexual assault and harassment. For this, Manne argues, is misogynys oft-overlooked and equally pernicious underbelly: exonerating or showing "himpathy" for the comparatively privileged men who dominate, threaten, and silence women.

Table of Contents Preface: Wronging HimIntroduction: (Eating) Her WordsChapter 1: Threatening WomenChapter 2: Ameliorating MisogynyChapter 3: Discriminating SexismChapter 4: Taking His (Out)Chapter 5: Humanizing HatredChapter 6: Exonerating MenChapter 7: Suspecting VictimsChapter 8: Losing (To) MisogynistsConclusion: The Giving She Review "Kate Mannes Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny combines traditional conceptual analysis and feminist conceptual engineering with critical exploration of cases drawn from popular culture and current events in order to producean ameliorative account of misogyny, that is, one that will help address the problems of misogyny in the actual world. The result is a timely, engaging, and relatively accessible account of a phenomenon that, in a variety of ways,structures the lives of millions." -- Nora Berenstain, Mind"Mannes elucidation of misogynys logic is interesting and illuminating ... [her] extensive use of real-world examples to illustrate and argue for her understanding of misogyny is laudable and exemplary of good philosophising." -- Mari Mikkola, Australasian Journal of Philosophy"In Down Girl, Kate Manne does a jaw-droppingly brilliant job of explaining gender and power dynamics which have always been purposefully muddied, but which shape how and to whom sympathy and presumptions of full humanity accrue. Mannes work has been invaluable to me and so many others fighting to make sense of the world and who has power within it. You will understand our current moment far better and more easily after having read Down Girl.Perceptive, bold, stylishly written and bracingly clear eyed, Down Girl is one of the best books I have ever read on gender and power; I will never stop learning from it." -- Rebecca Traister, author of Good and Mad"Despite its somber topic, Kate Mannes Down Girl made me very happy, exhilarated indeed by its insight, analytical clarity, and committed engagement with a major issue of justice. Ive been thinking and teaching about sexism and misogyny for a long time, but this book opened up fresh perspectives, for example in its convincing distinction between sexism as a set of beliefs and misogyny as an enforcement strategy. Each thoughtful person will have herown sense of where to locate the root of injustice to women, but Mannes cogent argument that misogyny is primarily about the demand that women give support, service, and care is surely at least one big part ofthe story of our turbulent times." -- Martha C. Nussbaum, School of Law and Department of Philosophy, University of Chicago"Persuasively defining misogyny as hostile, demeaning, shaming, and punitive treatment of women, Down Girl brings out the misogynist logic of contemporary culture with wit and urgency. In this book misogyny emerges as the law enforcement branch of patriarchy, and thus as a concept that fully deserves a place alongside patriarchy and sexism as a fundamental tool for feminist analysis. Combining conceptual clarity with passionate commitment,Down Girl is indispensable reading for anyone who wishes to understand the ugly strand of hostility to women that has surfaced in recent years in our so-called advanced Western societies." -- Toril Moi, DukeUniversity"Kate Mannes brilliant Down Girl is a welcome antidote to the view that philosophy is--or should be--detached and otherworldly. In it, philosophy meets reality and the stakes are nothing less than life and death. Drawing on literature, television, film, social media, current events, and scientific research, Mannes unflinching and bracingly original account defines misogyny in terms of what it does: it polices and punishes women for not fulfillingtheir time-honored role of catering to mens needs and desires. Among its many other virtues, her analysis explains why, even as women are achieving greater equality, misogynys stranglehold doesnt show signs ofloosening anytime soon. A must-read for all who struggle to make sense of contemporary culture and politics." -- Susan J. Brison, Dartmouth College"Kate Manne has written a deeply moving and powerful book. It is politically engaged philosophical analysis at its best." -- Sarah Song, University of California, Berkeley"Mannes important new book deploys the tools of analytic moral philosophy to construct an arresting account of the logic of misogyny. It is sure to become a key reference point for future discussions of this vital, but hitherto sadly neglected, topic." -- John Tasioulas, Kings College London"Manne offers us a deep, insightful, and thought-provoking --if depressing-- account of misogyny in America. This is a path-breaking book. It couldnt come at a more auspicious time." -- Ruth Chang, Rutgers University"Mannes Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny is excruciatingly well-timed, providing a theoretical framework for a phenomenon baring itself before us, perverse and pervasive... Down Girl reminds us that while revealing individual misogynists is hard, uprooting misogyny is much harder." -- Carlos Lozada, The Washington Post"Manne brings a fresh analysis to our assumed understanding of misogyny and the related term sexism. As a feminist and moral philosopher... not a single book or article-length treatment [in the field] had been devoted to unpacking what it is and how it works. Historians, pay attention. Manne has stepped up to fill this gap... Manne as a feminist philosopher breaks new ground in a field that is in need of new perspectives...Having fought for recognition for thelegitimacy of their method, feminist philosophers are firmly committed to excavating the political, epistemological, and moral aspects of gender relations. Down Girl should encourage historians whotrace changes in the meaning and the context of language to revisit some of the old standby terms of feminism." -- Lilian Calles Barger, Society for US Intellectual History"Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny by feminist philosopher Kate Manne... argues that misogyny pits women against each other: the good wife vs. "feminazis." At a time when high-profile sexual predators have been exposed, I cant imagine a more relevant read." -- Carrie Tirado Bramen, Times Higher Education"Kate Mannes Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny provides an important and compelling analysis of a phenomenon thats everywhere. Out of Mannes thoughtful analysis, of not just much-debated high-profile events but also everyday experiences, emerge insight after insight into the what, why, when, and how of misogyny. Manne also gifts us a marvelous neologism to capture the exculpatory and even empathic attitudes sometimes expressed towards misogynisticmen: "himpathy." -- Cordelia Fine, The Big Issue"This new book from Kate Manne, a professor of philosophy at Cornell University, makes a compelling argument for treating misogyny as a culture-wide system, not just a matter of individual bigotry." -- Max Fisher and Amanda Taub, The New York Times The Interpreter Newsletter"It is difficult to imagine a more timely moment for Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny. Manne is a professor of philosophy at Cornell University, and she uses the abstract tools of her discipline to parse current events. Her guiding question is as troubling as it is straightforward-to quote the comedian John Oliver: "Why is misogyny still a thing?" Within the parameters that Down Girl sets for itself, the account of misogyny it provides iscompelling." -- Moira Weigel, The Guardian"Cornell University philosophy professor Kate Manne is on a mission to define "misogyny." While were culturally familiar with sexism, Manne argues in her forthcoming book Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny that misogyny has been woefully conflated with sexism though they have different uses. Misogyny, in Mannes estimation, is about "controlling, policing, punishing, and exiling the bad women who challenge male dominance." Through the lens of the 2016election as well as the 2014 Isla Vista killings, the case of serial rapist Daniel Holtzclaw, Rush Limbaughs "slut" rant against Sandra Fluke, and other news events, Manne outlines the danger of misogyny, andexplains how we can collectively resist it." -- Evette Dionne, Bitch Magazine"Down Girl is a must-read and should be in every feminists library...[L]ong after reading it, Ive found myself going back to it, quoting from it and rereading sections. Her analogies used to explain misogynys many forms, provide much needed clarity; Manne also parses the difference between sexism vs. misogyny. In my opinion Down Girl is destined to become a feminist literary classic alongside the likes of The Beauty Myth by NaomiWolf or Betty Friedans The Feminine Mystique." -- Jennifer Taylor Skinner, The Electorette podcast"In her new book, Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny, Kate Manne examines an unfortunately ubiquitous reality through an intriguing lens. Manne, who teaches philosophy at Cornell, looks at misogyny from the perspective of power: rather than focus on whether individual men are misogynists or feel deep hatred for women, we would do well to spend more time wrestling with the power structures that not only allow for endless sympathy and space for mens poorbehavior, but also-most crucially-help teach men that women are supposed to behave in certain ways." -- Isaac Chotiner, Slate"What Were Reading: A compelling conversation [by Isaac Chotiner, Slate, see above] with Kate Manne, a professor of philosophy at Cornell University and the author of a new book on structural misogyny, may change the way you think about the #MeToo moment. She makes a case for treating the wave of revelations as an opportunity to re-examine a culture-wide system of discrimination, not just individual instances of bigotry and harassment." -- AmandaTaub, The New York Times"What is misogyny? How is it different from sexism? And why does the male-dominated status quo seem to persist? A new book by Cornell philosophy professor Kate Manne has answers. She argues that misogyny is not about male hostility or hatred toward women-instead, its about controlling and punishing women who challenge male dominance. Misogyny rewards women who reinforce the status quo and punishes those who dont...This book calls attention to the roles we allplay in society, roles that were assigned at birth and rarely question, and how we punish people-especially women-when they defy those roles." -- Sean Illing, Vox"In the fiercely argued and timely study Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny (Oxford), the philosopher Kate Manne makes a consonant argument [with anthropologist Alan Fiske and psychologist Tage Rai] about sexual violence. "The idea of rapists as monsters exonerates by caricature," she writes, urging us to recognize "the banality of misogyny," the disturbing possibility that "people may know full well that those they treat in brutally degrading andinhuman ways are fellow human beings, underneath a more or less thin veneer of false consciousness...There has always been something optimistic about the idea that our worst acts of inhumanity are based on confusion.It suggests that we could make the world better simply by having a clearer grasp of reality... The truth may be harder to accept: that our best and our worst tendencies arise precisely from seeing others as human." -- Paul Bloom, The New Yorker"Kate Manne has written an urgently relevant, brilliant but accessible analysis of how patriarchy functions within our context...Brilliant discussions of "himpathy," victim blaming, and other related subjects follow...Mannes analysis is unflinching and, as things stand right now, there is little room for hope that the big picture is going to improve any time soon. This is very highly recommended reading. Hands down, one of the best books of the year."--n Journeying with Those in Exile"This timely work of practical philosophy argues that misogyny is not defined by any private emotion or motivation-such as hostility or hatred toward women-but rather by a social function-controlling and punishing women who challenge male dominance while rewarding women who reinforce the status quo." --Adil Ahmad Haque, Just Security"Kate Mannes Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny is the most important book Ive read this year... While Manne doesnt solve the problem or give us a neat or hopeful answer, understanding misogyny is an important first step, so we can recognize it and break the silence that enables it." --Skye Cleary, The Reading Lists"Manne is a superb philosopher. Her feminist critiques are not just compelling but plainly stated. In this study, which Ive been eagerly waiting for all year, she analyzes the systematic misogyny and sexism built into our culture and politics. It is a vital work demonstrating just how women are policed and silenced...it is one of the best books Ive read this year." --Misanthropester"A big, ambitious and engrossing book, Down Girl raises the questions we should all be asking...Mannes equanimity and epistemological delicacy further the debate, closing in on predators such as Weinstein and bullies such as Trump with more than good intent. She comes at the problem of misogyny from all angles, tearing it apart." -- The Australian"This is the type of book that should be required reading for everyone. It uses historical and statistical evidence to prove that misogyny has woven its way into the very thread of society. The book illustrates how its so ingrained in our culture that people of both genders rarely seem aware of it, much less critical of it. Often, it becomes such a norm in our society, that we fail to recognize its extensive effects on our everyday lives. Which is exactly whythis book is so needed...if youre looking for a book to start off your year with, "Down Girl" is an awesome choice. Its informative, eye-opening, and necessary. Leave 2017 behind. Take on 2018 headfirst with a real knowledge of how our world is currently working, and a better understanding of what you can do to change that." -- Lipstick & Politics"Mannes book is a forensic and clever analysis which provides the cogs and wheels of how the system of patriarchal policing works, in our minds, as well as in our world... a prescient work, which proves particularly helpful when facing the news cycle each new day." --Times Literary Supplement"Manne isnt concerned with going after individual misogynists so much as analyzing how misogyny functions within society." -- Nigel Warburton, Five Books Prizes Winner of Book of the Year 2017, pick by Cordelia Fine, The Big Issue Dozen Most Memorable Books of 2017, Book Party, The Washington Post Books of the Year 2017, chosen by Carrie Tirado Bramen, Times Higher Education 7 Bitch-Approved Must Reads for November [2017], Bitch Magazine 10 Favorite Books of 2017, Chuck Mertz, This is Hell podcast Best Philosophy Books in 2017, honorable mention, Nigel Warburton, Five Books.
