Entitled: How Male Privilege Hurts Women | Kate Manne

Misogyny is typically although not invariably a response to a woman‘s to gendered law and order. I think of misogyny as one of those shock collars worn by dogs. Misogyny is capable of causing pain, and it often does, but even when it isn‘t actively hurting anyone, it tends to discourage girls and women from venturing out of bounds. If we stray, or err, we know what we are in for.⬇️ #shesaid

Singout In contrast to misogyny, I take sexism to be the theoretical and ideological branch of patriarchy: the beliefs, ideas, and assumptions that serve to rationalize and naturalize patriarchal norms and expectations, including a gendered division of labour, and men‘s dominance over women in traditionally male areas of power area and authority.⬇️ 6d

Singout The two typically work in concert, but we need to understand that someone can engage in misogynistic behaviour without necessarily having sexist beliefs about women. 6d

Hello #SheSaid! How is everyone doing this weekend. Surviving the current world so far 🙄. It‘s been a week and I can not wait to talk about this in the comments.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I feel like these stories may be older now since this book has been out for awhile now… but like all these thoughts and way of looking at women in the US have now grown and developed into political movements 🫣 and are running the place. 6d

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I am also glad that I broke it up into 2 chapters a week so I can take it very slowly and put it down in between each section. Lots of good stuff in the footnotes too! 6d

TheKidUpstairs I just got my hold for this one, hoping to catch up for next weekend's discussion! 6d

staci.reads It's a hard one to listen to 😔. I was appalled with the passages she includes from the writings of incels. I was not even familiar with the term until recently when my daughters were explaining it to me. I'm both glad for their awareness and heartbroken they have to be aware. 6d

mhillis I still have about 8 weeks to wait for my hold, so I‘ll read it later in the year 6d

DGRachel I thought I‘d be able to knock this out in a day or two, listening while I worked, but I‘m 20% of the way through, been listening at 1.5x speed for 40 minutes, and I‘m so angry I feel like I‘m about to explode. Incels make me physically ill. 3d

In general, I think of misogyny as being a bit like the shock collar worn by a dog to keep them behind one of those invisible fences that proliferate in suburbia. Misogyny is capable of causing pain, to be sure, and it often does so. But even when it isn‘t actively hurting anyone, it tends to discourage girls and women from venturing out of bounds. If we stray, or err, we know what we are in for.

(I can already tell this book will make me angry)

DogMomIrene Great comparison! Living on PEI, lots of people use “invisible fences” so any time I‘m talking to people here, I call them electric fences because I‘m not going to help make someone feel better about abusing their dog. Sounds like this book is doing similar, but I get how emotionally taxing that can be. Hang in there! 1w

AnneCecilie @DogMomIrene I also found Manne‘s comparison very fitting and explains why it‘s so hard for white men to understand how it works 1w

vlwelser I read this one already. And forgot about it. I'm still going to lurk in the posts. 2w

AnneCecilie I‘m picking up this from the library tomorrow 2w

MallenNC I think I‘m going to skip this one. I feel like I‘ve read enough (and lived enough) about misogyny for now. I will still take a look at everyone‘s thoughts. 1w

The Shore of Women: The Classic Work of Feminist Science Fiction | Pamela Sargent

Did I buy this copy for the cover? Absolutely. It fits the story far better than others I've seen. I still don't know why this book isn't more popular, though it is older now. This one has been on my mind even more lately. I can't imagine why. While this world is too extreme when it comes to how men are treated, it definitely makes you wonder how a world run by women would be different. Even "War Is A Racket" pondered why it might be better.
