Entitled: How Male Privilege Hurts Women | Kate Manne

The title is pretty self explanatory in what its about.

I feel that I finally had some arguments if I ever where to get into a discussion with a pro-lifer. And that actually feels great.

For me gaslighting was a term that suddenly turned about and was everywhere. Now I feel that I finally understand what it is and how it‘s used

I‘m so glad #SheSaid made me aware of this book so I read it

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I‘m glad you liked it, or at least got some interesting things from it. Her other book Down Girl was very good too.

Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny

Riveted_Reader_Melissa For gaslighting, I think I need to track down the original play now and read it. 13h

#Read2025

Finished today for #SheSaid March & it‘s one of those books you can‘t really like because it‘s so damn frustrating especially in our current world but it also an important read. I missed Manne‘s previous book Down Girl but I understand that this book builds & expands on it & focuses on male entitlement & how patriarchy “punishes women for not giving men the moral goods to which they are, by the terms of our social contract entitled.”⬇️

DebinHawaii … Published in 2020, the examples like the Brett Kavanaugh hearings, incel gun rampages, and the #MeToo movement are still relevant in 2025 since little has changed & we have even gone further backwards in some respects. Still reading this book, spreading the message & most importantly acting on it are the only ways to bring about change. 3d

Hello #SheSaid. Posting a bit later today. I hope you are all finishing up with the book and if not learning a lot, at least feeling less alone and “gas lighted” when you are in certain situations and being told it‘s normal, not a problem, etc.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Bookwormjillk last week, I tried for literally hours. Logged out, back in, tried again. Let it sit after I hit enter, tried typing each in individually and then picking from the drop-down list of names. Anything I could think of….and nothing. I gave up after a few hours and just hoped you‘d find it by the tag. Today, copy & pasted the list in and it went right through and popped up as a comment immediately. 2 seconds 3d

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Litsy may be gaslighting me 😂 3d

DebinHawaii @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Hah! But how frustrating! I finished the book this morning. It was a good but also frustrating read. 3d

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @DebinHawaii I felt the same, but I also feel better knowing that I‘m not imagining the problems or the scope of the problems 3d

DebinHawaii @Riveted_Reader_Melissa So true! 3d

vlwelser I'm glad the tags worked. I'm ready (ish) to jump back in for the next book. I don't have the book yet but it's on hold at the library so forward progress is happening. 3d

AllDebooks I enjoyed this, despite its reiteration of well documented inequalities. Written well with some good insights 3d

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @vlwelser sometimes any forward progress is good progress. Even if it‘s just a tiny bit 2d

staci.reads I thought the book finished strong. The chapter Unelectable- On the Entitlement to Power - was especially relevant after the last election. The part about the backlash against Klobachar after her perceived "disloyalty" to Al Franken was new information for me. I really liked her discussion of communality and the effect that expectation has on women in power. That hit home for me personally. 2d

vlwelser 🤗 1d

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @staci.reads there was a great footnote about Harris too, from the primaries…which was very relevant now too. 13h

Hello #SheSaid!

Did you make it through? Such a tough read right now, but also a really timely one…. 😬

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 2w

kspenmoll I can only do fiction on audiobooks! 2w

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 🫠 2w

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

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. 2w

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. 2w

BarbaraBB All those men marching and no woman to be seen. It‘s disgusting 2w

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. 2w

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 2w

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. 2w

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