Introduction : eating her words -- Threatening women -- Ameliorating misogyny -- Discriminating sexism -- Taking his (out) -- Humanizing hatred -- Exonerating men -- Suspecting victims -- Losing (to) misogynists -- Conclusion : the giving she.
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 society's failure to recognize women's full humanity and autonomy is not actually the problem. She argues instead that it is women's manifestations of human capacities -- autonomy, agency, political engagement -- is what engenders misogynist hostility.
