书籍简介：

Misogyny is a hot topic, yet it's often misunderstood. What is misogyny, exactly? Who deserves to be called a misogynist? How does misogyny contrast with sexism, and why is it prone to persist – or increase – even when sexist gender roles are waning? This book is an exploration of misogyny in public life and politics by the moral philosopher and writer Kate Manne. It argues that misogyny should not be understood primarily in terms of the hatred or hostility some men feel toward all or most women. Rather, it's primarily about controlling, policing, punishing, and exiling the "bad" women who challenge male dominance. And it's compatible with rewarding "the good ones," and singling out other women to serve as warnings to those who are out of order. It's also common for women to serve as scapegoats, be burned as witches, and treated as pariahs. Manne examines recent and current events such as the Isla Vista killings by Elliot Rodger, the case of the convicted serial rapist Daniel Holtzclaw, who preyed on African-American women as a police officer in Oklahoma City, Rush Limbaugh's diatribe against Sandra Fluke, and the "misogyny speech" of Julia Gillard, then Prime Minister of Australia, which went viral on YouTube. The book shows how these events, among others, set the stage for the 2016 US presidential election. Not only was the misogyny leveled against Hillary Clinton predictable in both quantity and quality, Manne argues it was predictable that many people would be prepared to forgive and forget regarding Donald Trump's history of sexual assault and harassment. For this, Manne argues, is misogyny's oft-overlooked and equally pernicious underbelly: exonerating or showing "himpathy" for the comparatively privileged men who dominate, threaten, and silence women. l

书友短评：

@ ∞ Dense. 概念如sexism/misogyny的區別： an example of sexism is stereotypes sugarcoated in “chivalry”, while misogyny is tied with violence and hate；Himpathy和女性受害者有罪論一母同胞；從humanism的角度來看，厭女不是不把女性當人而是把她們當作次等的人，或感到女性的「人性」具有威脅性（雖然這部分的論述我沒完全懂）；「受害者博同情」也是一種消極的反抗：本來就慘，還不許我賣慘？ 還有來自知曉我姓名、Gone Girl、Fargo等等的例子。作者對希拉里的支持和同情讓我第一次反思我們對女性政客的不信任，這樣看來Veep這個劇真的很厭女。 @ 小波福娃 勉勉强强读完，读到了个大意，但仍觉得系统/机制层面的更难
