Entitled: How Male Privilege Hurts Women | Kate Manne

pick

I finished this one up last weekend before my Libby loan expired. It's only my 2nd audiobook ever, and I learned nonfiction isn't going to work for me without a print copy. Keeping in mind that the mode probably affected my opinion of the book, I found this was good, but not great. The topics for each chapter are so very important, but I struggled to be engaged. It could also be that I'm just weary of intolerance and hate right now ⬇️

staci.reads and feel the temptation to bury my head in the sand. I won't. Stakes are too high. But, man. These reads are harder than they used to be 😔#Shesaid @Riveted_Reader_Melissa 6d

kspenmoll I can only do fiction on audiobooks! 6d

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @staci.reads I understand, the next 4 years (and hopefully not more) are going it be tough, and I feel it in my non-fiction reading already after 2 months 🫠 2d

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @kspenmoll for me it is totally narrator dependent. 😂 2d

There are evidently many men who feel entitled to regulate pregnant bodies without having the remotest idea about, or interest in learning, how they work. And there are evidently some women who are prepared to paint others as heartless for balking at these attempts to police and enforce their pregnancies. #SheSaid

TheBookHippie It‘s so infuriating. 1w

Singout Yes. I‘m thinking of a straight male friend I knew long ago who felt that abortion was morally wrong, but nonetheless accompanied a friend to get one because it was her body and therefore her choice. 1w

BarbaraBB All those men marching and no woman to be seen. It‘s disgusting 1w

Singout Confession: I sought out such a picture because that was the point of the quote… there are lots of photos as well of women protesting abortion. 1w

Hello #SheSaid. I hope this week has treated you well.

I know quite a few of you were running behind starting and/or reading this one, so just stop into the comments as you finish each section. This discussion is for chapters 5 & 6.

AnneCecilie This book is making me so angry. And I can‘t imagine reading this and not get angry. That whole abortion chapter 🤯 Hopefully, if I ever meet a pro-lifer, I‘ll now have arguments against their views 1w

Singout I‘m finally caught up on a #SheSaid book! Yes, this made me angry too: the story in chapter 5 about the pregnant Black woman whose health needs were completely ignored and denied was gut wrenching. And, yes, the abortion chapter 😬. Recommended, if you can access it outside Canada, is an amazing book I read last year called “The Abortion Caravan,” about a group of women who went from the Pacific coast to Ottawa in 1970 to demand legal abortions. 6d

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Singout I feel like we are returning to that 2d

Another case that support that pro-lifers isn‘t about pro-life

Kate Manne in chapter 6 on why the pro-life movement isn‘t about pro-life

#SheSaid

TheBookHippie There is nothing about life in their stance. Nothing. 1w

AnneCecilie @TheBookHippie No, but it‘s to nice get the confirmation. But most importantly, I love that she gives me arguments I can use if I ever where to meet one. They aren‘t that big in Norway. 1w

quietlycuriouskate @AnneCecilie @TheBookHippie Yep, definite odour of mendacity and hypocrisy there! 😠 1w

Sace And Governor Meemaw didn‘t care about the hypocrisy. 1w

TheBookHippie @AnneCecilie my favorite book on this is

Ejaculate Responsibly: A Whole New Way to Think About Abortion

staci.reads I have my Libby loan only a few more days, so I'm reading ahead and can't remember what was in this week's chapters 🤦‍♀️. I will say, this is a damn depressing book. We've read a lot of similar information in other books, but I'm listening to this one, and maybe that's why it is hitting different. I'm new to audio books, and I think I'm finding that for the non fiction, I'm going to need print copies. Having these stories drone on and on in my ears is really 2w

staci.reads *overwhelming. 2w

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.⬇️ 3w

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. 3w

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.

@vlwelser @SamAnne @Julsmarshall @arlenefinnigan @CoffeeK8 @MallenNC @DebinHawaii @Currey @Augustdana @Suet624 @Singout @mhillis @megnews @AnneCecilie @kspenmoll @staci.reads @AllDebooks @psalva ⤵️

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. 3w

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! 3w

TheKidUpstairs I just got my hold for this one, hoping to catch up for next weekend's discussion! 3w

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. 3w

mhillis I still have about 8 weeks to wait for my hold, so I‘ll read it later in the year 3w

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. 3w
