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.⬇️ 7h

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. 7h

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. 19h

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! 19h

TheKidUpstairs I just got my hold for this one, hoping to catch up for next weekend's discussion! 19h

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. 15h

mhillis I still have about 8 weeks to wait for my hold, so I‘ll read it later in the year 4h

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! 4d

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 4d

vlwelser I read this one already. And forgot about it. I'm still going to lurk in the posts. 1w

AnneCecilie I‘m picking up this from the library tomorrow 7d

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. 5d

Everyday Sexism | Laura Bates

pick

Established before the #metoo movement, Bates‘s Everyday Sexism project gave women a place to voice their issues with predatory behavior. This book is more like a compilation of what she has learned through research, activism, & her own experiences, as well as the experience of other women around the globe through their tweets, quotes, emails, and interviews. It‘s upsetting to hear all the horrible things men do.

Stay safe, Littens
